If I said I chose a hotel for honorable reasons, I wouldn't be an honorable man. But even I'm surprised when I tell Ellie I've reserved a room and she asks to see it.

As I open the door to the suite, I think of all the warning signs— all the motifs I saw that indicated she would wreck me— and I let them all fade away. This is the dream of a director: to make someone feel so invested in and surrounded by a scene that they forget everything else in their lives.

My head is always filled with thoughts— pulling apart everything I see, hoping to be inspired for current or future projects— but the sense of awe on Ellie's face as she looks around the room.

"Did you choose this one because it reminds you of California?" she asks, gesturing to the mural of the ocean on the wall. The rest of the room is mostly sand-colored— there is a cherry wood table and desk, a couple of pieces of burgundy red furniture, and a wide screen TV that stands out like a square-shaped black hole.

"Maybe," I say. "I just like that all these rooms let you look out at the city."

I move next to her, where we both look out of the massive windows that shows a Denver skyline. It's not as lit up as LA, but there's something more honest in a city that doesn't pretend to be a city of angels. There are patches of darkness, but at least Denver doesn't pretend it's not there.

"It must be nice to always be this high up," she says.

"Is that another dig at me being famous?"

She laughs. "For once, no. I mean it. It's just…it's so different to see the world from here. I look at the world from Saffron and it's easy to forget that there's a whole world out there, doing a billion different things. There are thousands of people out on those streets tonight. Someone is being proposed to down there. Someone is finding out they were hired. Someone is getting robbed. I could be down there, and anything could happen to me."

"I wouldn't let anything like that happen to you."

She turns to me. "You're thinking about my stalker, but good things could happen too. Just listening to you tonight…I've thought a thousand times of going to you, asking you for help with my career, but I didn't. I knew you were angry with me and I didn't want to base my career on a high school sweetheart."

"If you had asked, I would have helped, and it wouldn't have been because we have a history. It's because I know you're good."

She sits down on the edge of the bed. The large comforter barely deflates under her. She looks up at me, her blue eyes making the painted ocean look dull in comparison.

"I want it to be you," she says. I slide my hands into my slack pockets.

"What do you want to be me?"

"You know. My virginity."

My breath gets caught in my throat, but I quickly force it out.
