CHAPTER 9

As Thursday wore on, Jane just kept reminding herself, Get through today; she’s gone tomorrow. Get through today; she’s gone tomorrow.

They were at Old Faithful, and for once it wasn’t Sara who was slowing down the shoot, it was Old UNFaithful, which hadn’t blown its top in over an hour. Since wait times were anywhere from ninety minutes to two and a half hours, it could still be a while before the jet of hot, steamy water erupted into the sky again.

Sara sat in her trailer pouting, kept company by Sebastian since Jane was keeping her distance. The sky was clear and the sun was high, but the air around them was filled with moisture from the geyser’s steam and there was no way Sara’s hair and makeup would last through the heat of the late afternoon. They had gotten a great set of two shots in the morning, but now they all cooled their heels waiting. There were other geysers nearby, but none of them had the awesome height and power of Old Faithful, so they waited for the intense bubbling to begin, when they would hurry Sara from her trailer over to the flat rocks in front of the geyser for the second shoot.

Jane sat in a director’s chair next to Ray, counting down the minutes until the shoot was over for today and she could go back to her motel room and then to the Prairie Dawn for euchre.

Ray turned to her, nudging her elbow to get her attention.

“Honey, I have got to know where this magical, stiff backbone came from, because you know your Ray-Ray likes anything magical and stiff!”

Jane turned to Ray, who had lowered his sunglasses to peek at her.

“I don’t know.” She shrugged, popping a lollipop between her lips. “I guess everyone has a breaking point.”

“And yours shoulda been in Madrid when she screamed BITCH at you loud enough to wake up the dead at three o’clock in the a.m., drunk off her bony ass from too much Cava.”

“Nah. That was already months overdue,” she said, remembering Cairo.

“Things gonna change when we get home, Janie?”

“I think they’re gonna have to, Ray.”

“Now, I know you ain’t talking about leaving us, because you would not break Ray Cartier’s tender heart.”

“That wouldn’t be my first choice…but Sara may not have room for the new me.”

Ray put his sunglasses back on his head and leaned back, sighing in the warmth of the sun. Jane looked toward the parking area and saw Lars leaning against his truck, like an actor out of a western movie, impossibly masculine with his cowboy boots, jeans, polo shirt and cowboy hat. What a long, boring day for him.

As much as she would have loved to spend the day leaning against his truck next to him, and as much as her spirits soared yesterday when he turned down Sara, she still didn’t trust that they were out of the proverbial woods. She thought about the conversation she had overheard this morning that made her hopes take a significant dive.
