If he was honest with himself, Luke hadn’t thought about Reagan or the kids more than a few passing times since he arrived at the set. He’d been excited about meeting Randi Wells—mostly because she was a beautiful celebrity, and now he—Luke Baxter—had access to that world. But he hadn’t counted on Randi being interested in him. Not in his wildest dreams.

It was after nine o’clock, the sky long since dark, and he was seated between Randi and Dayne at what had become a beach bonfire. He was barefoot and wore khaki shorts, a white T-shirt, and Dayne’s Baja California baseball cap, the one he’d borrowed earlier when the sun first started setting. Dayne had told him to keep it. The cast and crew had all received a hat when they checked into their rooms at the beginning of the shoot.

Luke pushed his toes deep into the sand. It was hard to believe this was really his life, practicing law from a beachfront movie location somewhere in Mexico. Away from home, things were better than he ever could’ve dreamed. He surveyed the others gathered in groups of two or three around the fire. A few members of the cast were roasting marshmallows, lost in quiet conversations. Dayne was talking about the TV show For Real and how it should be against the law to produce something so false and call it reality when they were approached by the movie’s director and one of the producers, guys Luke had met earlier.

“Matthews, we were looking at dailies from earlier this week. Brilliant stuff, man.” The director put his hand on Dayne’s shoulder.

“You got a minute, though?” The producer nodded toward the beach bungalow that was serving as the editing room. Luke had heard about it in a tour of the set before dinner. The producer made a concerned face at Dayne. “We want you to see something. The way the lighting’s falling on you, we might want a few retakes from the other day.”

“Or maybe you’ll like it.” The director started walking up the beach. “Come take a look. It’ll just take a minute.”

“You got it.” Dayne glanced at Luke. He leaned closer so no one else could hear him. “Don’t do anything I wouldn’t do.”

Luke laughed, and he managed to sound relaxed. He gripped both armrests of the chaise lounge he was stretched across. “Come on.” He kept his voice low. “Be serious.” On the other side of Luke, Randi was talking to someone else.

Dayne stood and gave Luke a wary look. “I am serious,” he mouthed. He waved his thumb in Randi’s direction and whispered, “She’s trouble.”

Another ripple of easy laughter came from Luke. “Go get your work done.”

The men were already several yards ahead of Dayne, headed to the bungalow. Dayne held Luke’s eyes a few seconds longer. “Be right back.”

“Okay.” Luke turned toward the fire and tried to believe this was really happening, that he was really here rubbing elbows with top movie stars. More than that, he wasn’t a visitor or a fan on the set.
