CHASE COULD FEEL GOD’S COVERING, His protection as they breezed through the first two days of the next week. Bailey’s reading went brilliantly, and Chase and Keith marveled at how natural she was in front of a camera. Not that they were completely surprised. She’d been trained by Katy Hart, after all—another very natural acting talent. Bailey would do her scenes Friday, and possibly one or two days the following week. Chase and Keith had shuffled the order of the scenes to streamline their production some. So far the move was working. They were only a day behind now, instead of two or more. Every day cost tens of thousands of dollars, and though Keith kept working his contact list, especially trying to contact investor Ben Adams, nothing had come through yet. It was imperative that they get as much done every day as possible.

They were just wrapping up a scene between Rita and Jake, and a few of the grips were whispering close to Chase, agreeing that there was something special happening with this movie. The takes they were getting were the sort of stuff that showed up at big-time award shows. Chase couldn’t think about the possibility. All he could ask for was that God would get them through the filming before they ran out of money.

The scenes today were at a restaurant and across the street at a park. Chase watched the scene underway, and when his assistant director yelled, “Cut,” Chase was the first to clap. “Beautiful work, guys. Check the gate.”

Rita and Jake came out of the restaurant, laughing with each other and looking slightly worn out. Someone handed Rita a hand towel and she ran it along the back of her neck. “It’s like a sauna in there,” she announced to the crew standing around. She winked at Jake. “Either that, or Mr. Olson here’s a little too hot.”

He chuckled again and patted her back. “You were amazing.” He nodded toward the snack table across the street. “I’ll get you a bottle of water.”

Chase watched the two of them and concern bubbled to the surface. Rita was in her mid-thirties. Certainly she wasn’t interested in her twenty-four-year-old co-star. He made a mental note to talk to Keith about the two of them, just to make sure everyone stayed above board. He smiled to himself. Above the line, the way he and Keith were determined things on their shoot would be.

Rita caught his eye as she walked by. Her eyes flirted with him and mocked him at the same time. “You missed your chance, Chase.”

“Come on, Rita. Leave Jake alone. He’s a kid.” Chase kept his tone easygoing. He had no authority to tell Rita who she could and couldn’t be interested in. “Let’s keep character a priority, okay?”

She stopped and positioned herself as close to him as she could. “I’m a professional, don’t worry.” She started to walk away, but she tossed a final eyebrow raise at Chase. “I’ll say this. Jake’s definitely not a kid.
