chapter fifteen

As we wait for Erin to emerge from the dressing room, Griffin tells me how wonderful last night was at the hotel. He again thanks me for the food I had sent over, saying they enjoyed tasting all the exotic cuisines as they sipped champagne that cost as much as my first car. He was even able to arrange for them to set up a king-sized waterbed in their suite.

We stand off in a corner, trying to remain out of the way as dozens of people rush around in a flurry of activity, shouting this and moving that. I find a ‘Mad Max Productions’ director’s chair to sit in while we wait. Gavin was able to shuffle a few things around last minute which resulted in Erin getting cast as an extra in the movie being shot under his studio label. It’s not anything big and fancy. No Brad Pitt or Julia Roberts. It’s an indie film that Gavin’s company bought as one of their first projects when he started his company early this year.

I smile thinking how grateful I am to be able to be a part of moments like this. Yesterday, one of Erin’s sisters had mentioned that before Erin decided to become a teacher, her life’s dream was to be an actress. Star in a movie and walk the red carpet. When she was little, she had a large roll of red felt her mom bought at a flea market and Erin would spread it across their living room and dress up like a princess while prancing around on it, thanking her many fans.

It was sheer luck that Gavin’s production was shooting locally today. He was able to get her added as an extra and as a bonus, she even gets to say a few words in passing to one of the lead characters. Because of the speaking part, and the fact that the cameras will be focused on her, even for just a few seconds, she had to be done in full hair and makeup. And apparently, even for an extra, that takes a lot of time.

So Griffin and I sit and make small talk while we wait for Erin’s film debut. We talk about the weather. It’s getting chilly. It makes me wonder if Erin will be able to hold on until the holidays. We talk about the restaurant. It makes me think of the first time I met her, looking larger than life and ready to take on the world with me. We talk about Baylor and how she’s ready to pop any day now.

It’s then that I notice him staring at my belly.

He looks around to make sure we’re alone. “Are we going to talk about this?”

“Talk about what?” As if I don’t know.

“The elephant in the room,” he says, nodding to my stomach.

“Are you calling me fat again?” I tease.

He laughs. It’s nice to hear him laugh again. “I wouldn’t dare. Not after the new asshole you ripped me last time.”

Now I laugh, thinking about the fight we had during his one and only cooking lesson.
