Nina knew just how he felt. It took all her self-control to resist the urge to toss the remote at the TV screen. No need to set a bad example for Jake.

She’d just toss Nathan’s latest script revisions in the trash instead.

Yeah, now, that would make her happy.

By the time the awards ceremony actually started, Jake was already bored with all of Hollywood’s prettiest people (who wasn’t? thought Nina), and he flat out refused to sit still through another three hours of stilted in-jokes, pat speeches, and endless commercials. Nina allowed him to change the channel to Nickelodeon while she went off to her bedroom, leaving the door open, but just barely, so that she could keep an eye on Jake, but he wouldn’t hear her moans and sobs over the high-pitched squeals of the Rugrats.

Later, after she put him to bed, she watched the last half hour of the awards show with the sound off.

Kat lost. But that was okay. Her consolation prize was a heartfelt kiss from her ever-attentive date, Nathan. And because she was in the row behind the winner (the well-deserving Renée, as fate would have it), the television camera caught both Renée’s jubilation, and Nathan’s tender move.

It was the last image on Nina’s television’s screen before the remote control slammed into it, breaking the picture tube.

Still, the image was burned into Nina’s memory.
