187 "What do you mean?" she asked with sham innocence, turning up the volume on the remote controller, her gaze riveted on the television screen. "Why are you watching that?" "Watching what?" Julie asked with an indifference that completely belied the twisting ache in her stomach at the sight of Zack's hands on Glenn Close's body, his mouth on hers in a torrid kiss like the ones he gave Julie, his tanned torso gleaming against the stark white of a sheet that barely covered his hip. "You know exactly what I mean. First you acted like you'd never seen a movie of mine in that cabinet and didn't care to, and when you do decide to watch one, you go directly to a scene like this." "I've seen all your movies," she informed him, watching the television set and refusing to look at him when he sat down beside her. "I have most of them, including this one, on videotape, I've watched this particular one at least a half-dozen times." She nodded toward the picture. "How's the lighting there?"

"Oh, but I'm sure you weren't thinking about lights right now," she nodded toward the set as if mesmerized by it. "Not with your hands all over her breasts." "As I recall, I was thinking how much I wanted to strangle the director for making us do another take of that same scene." She ignored that truth completely and said with a hurt that was poorly concealed beneath sarcasm, "I wonder what Glenn Close was thinking just then-- when you kissed her breasts." "She was fantasizing about murdering the director, too, for the same reason." "Really?" she said sarcastically. "What do you suppose she was thinking about when you rolled on top of her like that?" Zack reached out and caught Julie's chin, gently forcing her face toward his. "I know what she was
