Winter pulled at the silky way-too-long nightdress she was wearing for her role, the morning sun shining brightly through the east facing window and making her sweat like she’d just done a 5k. She quickly started waving the material underneath her chest so obvious sweat lines wouldn’t appear before the first guest was awake.

Stacey tapped her foot next to her, looking perfectly comfortable in her wardrobe, though Winter had no clue how. The form-fitting pant suit had to have been three times thicker than the flimsy pajamas Winter would never wear to bed herself. No, she preferred the fluffy warmth of flannel when tucked underneath her duvet. She might sweat in that, too, but the evidence wasn’t so obvious.

“You have a lot of night owls, I’m guessing,” Stacey said, eyes going briefly to the Fitbit on her wrist that displayed the time. “Usually we get at least one person wandering downstairs by now.”

Winter nodded, still waving the material and finally getting a breeze up her skirt. It was a miracle she was awake; last night was a late one, what with wandering around the gardens and hiding in a bush. A giggle floated from her lips, echoing around the empty foyer. The memory of Will’s face when he’d tripped his way into hiding, dragging her with him, had to have been the funniest thing she’d ever seen. His mouth had popped open beneath his scraggly beard, a crimson blush ran through his entire face, and his blue eyes said he was completely flabbergasted to how they’d gotten in the position. How she managed to stay quiet, she’d never know. But even now, a few hours later, Winter felt joy rippling through her entire being. Spying on her matches had never been more fun.

A flutter played her ribcage like a drum. Before Will went back to his room for some much needed sleep—his brain seemed to have checked out at some point while hiding—he’d mumbled something about getting Maybelle and Garreth on a one-on-one with him and Winter. It was a great idea, but the more Winter thought about it, the more it sounded like a double date.

She was sure it wasn’t, that it was only business, of course, but her mind kept turning over with possible things to wear and topics that would give her more insight on Will and not the couple she should be focusing on.

“Oh,” Stacey said, breaking her from her reverie, “show time.”

Winter glanced up to see the elevator doors open, and she turned to Stacey quick and got into character. Stacey positioned her badge so the guests would know who she was.

The tears started in the backs of her eyes, and she sniffed. “We had a late tennis lesson last night,” she said much to the interest of the few guests who’d exited the elevator. She could sense them walking over. “He left around nine-thirty and headed to his room, as far as I know.”

Stacey nodded, her demeanor as a detective so believable Winter wondered if she ever was one before going into acting.
