Talk of the Town

“Oh my God, is that Natalie?” Harmony gasped as we stood backstage at Radio City Music Hall. “Everyone on the A list is here! I can’t believe it!”

I looked at my brother and smiled. Harmony was a television star in her own right—this wasn’t her first time being around celebrities. But even a totally jaded person like myself had to be impressed by the sheer wattage at the Big Apple Awards rehearsals. And even more amazing, all the stars were dressed down in jeans and sweaters, chatting amiably as they waited their turn to rehearse presenting their awards.

Being here, I had to admit that I could understand why Stan had been so insane about the cast attending. It was fair to say they were the only up-and-comers in the crowd; everyone else was a bona fide star. Just being in this company would bring Deathstalker some serious attention.

But I also knew that Anya was seriously scared—and with good reason. She hadn’t gotten any more crazy texts since the day before, but that was plenty to have her good and rattled. Even though security at the awards was being tripled, Anya still felt like she had to attend to prevent Zolo from doing something terrible to Vance. He hated Vance; none of us doubted that he had the motive to do it. Even Stan had finally seemed to realize how serious this was and told her she didn’t have to do anything she didn’t feel comfortable with. After all, we had no idea what Zolo’s “big plans” at the awards were—they could be deadly. But Anya insisted: If she skipped the awards and anything happened to her leading man—in real life as well as on-screen—she could never live with herself.

Now, though, Anya was staring amazedly at the two-time Oscar-winning actress who was gushing to her and Vance. “What a beautiful couple you make! When I saw you on the cover of US Weekly, I thought to myself, there’s the next generation of movie stars. How wonderful that you found each other!”

I glanced at Buzz, who rolled his eyes. All afternoon, huge celebrities had been approaching Anya and Vance to offer their congratulations. Some of them acknowledged the rest of the cast, but not many.

Buzz turned to Harmony. “How long do you think this big romance will last?” he asked her. “A week? Two weeks?”

Harmony raised her hand to her mouth to stifle a giggle. “Come on. At least she’s happy,” she whispered.

“Yeah, for how long?” Buzz asked again, widening his eyes. “Seriously—how long has Vance’s longest romance lasted? A couple months?”

Harmony shrugged. “Something like that.”

“She’s survived so much on this shoot,” Buzz said. “I just hate to see her get hurt by Vance.”

They both looked over at the couple. Vance was cradling Anya’s head against his own, petting her like a puppy dog and every so often kissing her forehead.

Buzz made a face. “Ew,” he said. “And for the record, I think she’s gorgeous. But enough with the PDA already!”

“Okay, maybe it’s a little over the top,” Harmony agreed.
