Later, at my apartment, I'm decompressing from the fucked up flight.

I left the ground convinced I hated his guts. Now...I'm not sure what I believe.

It doesn't get any easier when my phone lights up while I'm drifting off on the couch, thoroughly exhausted after today's insanity. It's mom. I almost let it go to voicemail before I take the call at the last second.

We had a quick late night dinner at a place downtown the other evening. She said she was going to get around to checking out the promos for the movie this week. I guess she's calling to give me her opinion. Part of me is actually curious what she thinks.

“Robin, what the hell do you think you're doing?” Her voice is hurt. Angry, and trying not to show it.

So much for sleep. “What's wrong?” I say, a weight in my stomach telling me I already know.

“I saw the posters. The trailer today. God. Lucus Shaw, baby? Have you lost your mind?”

Shit. Panic takes the floor out under me. I scoot to the edge of the couch and double over slightly, trying to clear my head, come up with answers I don't have myself.

“It's purely professional,” I say weakly. “Look, when I took the part, I didn't know he'd been cast to play Miles Black. He's been...okay to me. So far.”

At least if I can call 'okay' being lifted above Lake Michigan for a brutal self reflection.

“It's too late to turn back anyway, mom. We're almost halfway through.” I sniff, trying not to let my nerves weaken me. She's staying eerily silent on the other end. “I can't back out without ruining my career.”

“I want to talk to your agent,” she says, shifting into the no nonsense tone I heard as a little girl.

“Excuse me?”

“Bebe, isn't it? Put her on the phone. I'm getting you out of this. I don't care how much time or money it takes.”

“No, you're not,” I say, standing as anger's heats my blood. “I'm not a kid anymore, mom. You don't have to tell me for the millionth time about all the evil things that went down between you and Frank Shaw.”

“You think this is about that evil bastard and me? Like I don't remember how I pulled you away from him the day we left that horrible house? I know you two had sex.”

Even after all these years, lying about the obvious, the shameful truth heats my face. Burns it hotter than ever because sex with him has been on my mind more than it should be.

“That's all in the past, mom. You don't have to come running to protect me. I'm a grown woman. I know what I'm doing in my industry. There's no way I'm ever letting Luke do anything you'd have to worry –“

“The past is the present if you're telling me you're not stepping down. Every day you're with him, you're in danger, honey. Has he touched you? How many head games has he already played?” She's frantic.

A sickening knot pulls tight in my stomach.
