“Look at those fuckers run,” says Matt, who is Wes, who is driving the Humvee stripped down by the set designers and the prop master to make it look filthier, edgier.

We’ve been filming this scene in the heat of the day, running it over and over from different angles, moving forward fifteen seconds, back fifteen seconds, and all I can think of is Juno.

I got what I wanted.

I got her attention. I got that wide green gaze to break open underneath me in bed. I got to rock her world.

And now I’m the addict.

She leaves the door to her room open at night, and after she’s done reviewing dailies, I go in and we run through the scene where I destroy her, making her new with every orgasm.

I’m hard thinking about it, and now is not the time.

The California sun beats down on the Humvee, and Matt is as dropped into his character as he’ll ever be. It works out, honestly, that I spend half my time daydreaming about Juno’s bed, because this Dayton character is low-key obsessed with Sunny. Probably that’s why they ended up married, even despite all the bullshit that happened later on. There’s considerably less bullshit in the movie—with a two-hour runtime, you can’t fit that much in—but I’ve read up. It almost doesn’t matter we’ve been driving the same loop on the back lot for at least an hour.

“Kids,” I say, squinting through the windshield like there are actually kids running. There are not. They’ll be filmed separately three days from now, when the schedule can be more tightly controlled.

“Kids running,” drawls Wes. “But where to?”

“Anybody’s guess.”

“Could be running to alert the local cell, or just because an old-fashioned military parade is about to roll through downtown.”

“Maybe b—”

I don’t get to say both on this run, because Juno yells “Cut!” and her answer is echoed all through the set.

Water break.

It’s been ten days since Juno let down that last wall, and she still must feel like she has to earn it.

“Water. You guys getting out?” A red-haired assistant leans into the Humvee and shoves bottles of water into our hands.

Matt sighs. “No.” The assistant disappears. He opens the bottle, drinks a quarter of it, and dangles his arm out the window to offer it back. “She’s a real tyrant, isn’t she?”

I’ve been staring at Juno in the rearview mirror, thinking about how good it’s going to be to get her in the shower at the end of the day… and then into bed. In this moment, she does look slightly tyrannical. She’s barking orders at Maggie, who’s rapid nodding confirms my assumption. As soon as Maggie turns away, she looks down at her watch. Then she claps her hands three times. She’s far enough from the Humvee that I don’t catch every word, but I get the gist: Get the hell back to work.

“Lot of pressure,” I say neutrally.

“Still, the water thing?” Matt rolls his eyes. “I didn’t expect to drown filming in the desert.”

“Nobody’s going to drown.
