What the hell is wrong with me?

This has been my mantra for the last twelve hours. But I don’t have an answer for it yet.

After my embarrassing outburst in front of the Millers, I bolted to the car and shut myself in, panting and trying to calm myself down for the five minutes it took Evie to join me.

Why did I lose my shit like that?

Evie’s parents are assholes. There is no denying that. But it wasn’t my job to stand up for her. I can only imagine what an idiot and/or psycho she thought I was, bringing me over for fancy pork circles only for me to have an insane fit at her mom’s dinner table.

When she got in the car, neither of us said anything. Which made me realize how bad it was. Evie always has something to say. So the fact I rendered her speechless is a testament to what an ass I made of myself. There was nothing left to do but drive to the hotel as quick as I could and hide away in my separate room until the morning, when hopefully the shock of my outburst had worn off.

We meet in the parking lot just after sunrise, ready to hit the locations on today’s list. The idea is to get them all done by the afternoon and make it back to LA before dark, and we have our work cut out for us.

At least it will keep us busy.

Meandering along the coast, we stop only for coffee, and eventually make our way to location one. The morning sky is clear and blue, and we check out the view from the top of the cliff first.

“I’ve been here before,” Evie says, looking out at the ocean. “It’s beautiful.”

She’s much quieter today, withdrawn. And I can’t tell if it’s because of all the things her parents said to her last night, or all the things I said. She is probably concerned I’ll have another random meltdown and throw her over the edge.

“Let’s go down to the shoreline,” I say, leaving for the access path.

Down on the beach, it feels more isolated, enveloped with huge rock walls on either side and the never-ending expanse of blue water in front. The ocean is calm, with only small waves breaking and eventually making their way to the sand.

We split up to take photos and write notes—me about the shots we’d be filming here, Evie on where the departments could set up their sections—and before long we’re onto the next location to do it all over again.

By early afternoon I’m tired, a little sunburned, and sick of looking at beautiful beaches. So when we meet at the next shoreline, I’m glad it’s the last one. Evie, on the other hand, seems like she’s still enjoying the views, staring out at the ocean like it’s just as stunning as the first time she laid eyes on it hours ago.

“I wanted to say thank you.”

Her words break through the silence and she turns to face me, her hand cupped over her brow to block out the sun.
