Chapter 18

Sasha looked across the table to see Jac fiddling with her phone again even as she spoke to Vanessa and Becca about the scene they were about to do. She’d been on it all afternoon, and when she wasn’t, she was distracted. But every time Sasha had asked what was wrong, she’d dismissed the question, declaring she was fine and that she was paying attention. She wasn’t. On either score. And the blatant lie was pissing her off. If Jac didn’t want to talk, all she had to do was say so. Not lie to her.

“Are you even listening to me?” Bobbi squatted beside the chair Sasha sat on as she watched the proceedings. The scowl marring Bobbi’s forehead clearly told Sasha she was well aware of the answer to her own question.

“Sorry, Bobbi. I was miles away. What were you saying?”

“I was saying that I’m thinking of throwing a party round at mine on Friday.” She pointed over her shoulder with her thumb. “You think this lot will be up for it?”

Sasha frowned a little at her. Bobbi was not usually one to throw parties at her home. Doing so in a shared place was often awkward, so she usually met up with people at the pub or club. “Are your housemates up for it?”

“If they’re invited too, I’m sure they would be,” Bobbi said as she shrugged. “I thought you could crash over at mine, then. Give your mum the house to herself.”

Shuddering, Sasha gave an unenthusiastic nod of agreement. It might be nice to spend time with her new colleagues outside of the office-slash-set.

“Cool beans.” Bobbi’s grin was infectious. “And don’t worry, I’ll take care of everything.” She gently squeezed Sasha’s arm. “Later, gator.”

Bobbi sauntered away just as Jac walked away from the conversation she was having with Vanessa and Becca and took her seat next to Sasha again.

“Everything okay?” Sasha asked.

“Yeah, yeah. Fine.” Jac’s voice was anything but convincing, and Sasha found herself even more annoyed. If that’s how it’s going to be then, Jac. That’s just fine.

When Jac finally called an end to the day’s rehearsal, Sasha jumped out of her seat and was out of the door before anyone could say anything to her. She walked quickly to the office Sophie had allotted her and slammed the door behind her. She needed to get her notes compiled and then she was out of here.

Sasha opened her laptop and set to work, pecking at the keys, and let the clatter of them soothe the anger that bubbled in her. Why couldn’t Jac just say what was bothering her? Or at least that she didn’t want to talk about it? Why lie and say she was okay? And why the hell was it bothering her so much? Jac was old enough to deal with her problems and frustrations on her own. She’d been doing it for some time, by all accounts. Sasha needed to stop stewing about it and just get on with her own shit.
