“Quiet on set, please! Action!”

Mrs. Evans clutches my hands painfully tight. “Please, Riley. Whatever you do—don’t break my son’s heart. I don’t think he can take much more of a world where hearts are always broken.”

“Cut!”

“Take thirteen. Action!”

Lauren flips her hair as she glares. “Riley isn’t good enough for you, Quinn. He doesn’t love you. Not like I did.”

“Cut!”

“Ready? Action!”

Jake Powers smokes a cigarette as he looks over the manuscript. Paul stares over his shoulder. “You two managed to come up with this, huh?”

Quinn glances at me hesitantly. He takes my hand, and I turn back to Mr. Powers. “Yes. We worked all night on it.”

When Logan is heading onto set for a scene with him and Keith, he catches my eye, walks over, and kisses my cheek before he keeps going. I don’t have to act out the blush that heats my face. Things have shifted between us, since Logan told me about his past. He showed me a level of vulnerability that I’ve never seen from anyone I’ve dated before, and it feels like an honor, that he trusted me with this. It’s not an honor that I take lightly.

I lean against the coffee table and watch as Dave speaks to them. This fake relationship has become more overwhelming than the movie. We’ve started to become a sort of celebrity power couple. People still trash talk Logan on social media, but more people are deciding that Logan is surprisingly soft and cute, using photos of us holding hands and kissing cheeks as evidence. He isn’t the only person benefiting. People don’t look at me like I’m the actor of the week anymore. Articles aren’t as dismissive of me.

Besides the official schedule he handed us, Dave expects us to go on at least one public date each week, and we’ve started to get requests for interviews on set.

“What is it like acting with your boyfriend?” the reporter for the Inside Hollywood blog asks. “Is it difficult to focus?”

“No,” I say—a total lie, of course. “It’s helpful. I can pull from my real emotion for Riley, who is falling in love with Quinn.”

The reporter asks, “Is it possible that you’ve mistaken your character’s feelings as your own?”

Wow. They really go for the jugular, huh? “Well, that’s certainly happened to other Hollywood couples, but I know that this is real love for me and Logan. I started to get to know him, not Quinn, and it was Logan that eventually won me over.”

It’s uncomfortable that this is a little closer to the truth than I’d like to admit.
