“Are you having a good time?” Lisa asked, joining Chelsea at the bar. She and Neil had been goofing around on the dance floor, moving their hips to some old sixties song, along with some of the gang they’d met here.

“It’s fun.” Chelsea smiled at her. “Thank you for letting me come along.”

“I’m glad you did. Neil’s worried about you. He said if he didn’t spring you from the house soon you’d end up with Stockholm Syndrome.”

Chelsea laughed along with her. Lisa didn’t know how close she was to the truth. Not that Chris was her captor – but she was still falling for him.

And that was a bad idea.

“Can I have another margarita?” Lisa asked the barman.

He nodded and glanced at Chelsea. “And you, ma’am?”

“Do you know how to make a Last Word?” she asked him.

His brows pinched together. “I don’t, but I can Google it.”

She shook her head. “It’s okay. I’ll just have a margarita, too.” It was stupid anyway. She only wanted him to make her one so she could tease Chris that it was better than his. And the whole point of coming out tonight was to stop thinking about him. She was supposed to be concentrating on having fun, not strategizing how to rile him up enough to want to kiss her again.

All she could think about were his lips on hers.

“How long have you been dating Neil?” she asked Lisa, determined to push her boss and his talented mouth out of her mind.

“Only a couple of months. We hit it off during pre-production meetings. He has the goofiest sense of humor and it kind of matches mine.” The first-flush-of-love expression on Lisa’s face made Chelsea feel wistful. “It’s still early days, but I’m really hoping it’s not just a location romance, you know?”

“A location romance?”

Lisa smiled. “Like a vacation romance but on set. It happens a lot. Half of the scandals in Hollywood come from location romances. There’s this intensity to being away and filming. You work crazy long hours, spend all your time with the same people. If there’s chemistry there, it’s like it’s distilled by a million parts. And then you go home and back to your normal life and things go to shit.”

“Eek.” Chelsea grimaced. “You sound like you’re talking from experience.”

“Put it this way. I’ll never date an actor again.”

The barman slid two cocktail glasses toward them, and Lisa held her phone up to pay.

“I’ll get these,” Chelsea protested.

“No, you got the last round. This one’s on me.” When she’d paid, Lisa took a long sip of her margarita. “How about you? Are you dating anybody?”

“No,” Chelsea said, sipping her own drink. “I’m having what they call a dry spell.”

Lisa laughed. “It must be hard with your job. I assume you work a lot of nights.”

“Yeah.” Chelsea took another mouthful of her cocktail. “And weekends, too. I guess it’s like working in the movie industry in that outsiders don’t really understand the long hours and get annoyed when you’re not around.
