Chapter Five

Vignette Two: It’s Time

The week of their “honeymoon” passed far too quickly for Ty and he returned to the demands of his job, resentful at being forced away from Gwen’s sweet body. Acting had been his life, his singular joy for over two decades, but as he watched the actors on the set recite their lines like they had mouths full of peanut butter, he wondered why the hell he bothered. He was guest-directing one of the hottest shows on television as a favor to a friend. One of the show’s gimmicks was inviting a different person in the business to direct each week.

He called “Cut!” and once again tried to explain to the two stars exactly what he’d already said twenty-seven fucking times today. He worked hard to control his temper because part of him suspected the actors were trying to provoke him to anger. He was well-aware that while there were several cameras pointed at the set, there was also one directed at him.

At the end of each show, the producers aired a montage of behind-the-scenes clips of the famous director working with the cast. No doubt some asshole producer had decided it would improve ratings to show that infamous Ransome temper exploding. Ty refused to accommodate them, but as the scene dragged on and on, each minute keeping him away from returning to Gwen, he found it hard to keep his growing fury in check.

“Mr. Ransome,” the director’s assistant said. The annoying woman had shadowed him for three days, offering coffee, food and advice almost every other minute.

“What?” he barked.

She widened her eyes as if afraid of him and he fought back a growl as he spotted the camera out of the corner of his eye.

“I’m sorry, Paula. What do you need?” He watched her disappointment at his calm apology and he realized she was also in on the scheme to provoke him to madness.

“There’s a woman here to see you. She insists that it’s very important.”

“Important?” he snapped, fed up with the constant interruptions. He wanted to be home in bed with Gwen, not here surrounded by this fake, talentless group of morons. “We’re in the middle of a scene. A scene that would have been finished two hours ago if these two had bothered to learn their lines.” Fuck the cameras and fuck this show. If they wanted to see Ty Ransome in a rage, he’d give them their money’s worth. Screw Bernie and his warnings to clean up his act.

A figure moved behind Paula, distracting him, and he spotted Gwen, waving nervously from the edge of the set. His anger dispersed in an instant.

“Everybody take ten,” he shouted to the cast and crew. He could almost detect the sighs of annoyance as he walked away from them without giving them the money shot they were waiting for. Fuck. Was the whole crew conspiring against him?

“You’re a sight for sore eyes,” he said softly as he approached her. He gave her a quick buss
