Chapter Nineteen
Maddy
Just as I step out of the car, my phone buzzes to life, and I curse as I take the call. Who on Earth is it? Please tell me none of the vendors have pulled out of the wedding, I feel like Iâm just starting to get a handle on everything and I canât lose it now.
âWhatâs up?â I greet the person on the other end of the line, but before I can say anything, Teddy starts to rush off in a blast of panic.
âThe movieâs been delayed,â he blurts out to me. âAnd I donât know when itâs going to get back on track. If itâs even going to get back on trackâ¦â
âTeddy, slow down,â I tell him, pausing as I pay the driver. I glance up at the venue we booked for this party. Even though we hired out the hotel for an earlier party, to accommodate other parents who might not be able to get childcare, itâs already starting to fill out, so Milaâs not going to notice me being absent for a little while. I can handle this, at least.
âTell me whatâs happening,â I order, ducking around the side of the building so I can get a little privacy.
âI have no idea,â he admits. âI just came in to work today, and the whole set is shut down. None of the crew are here, I called up one of the production managers, and they said something about creative differences. He was pretty vague, but I donât know if thatâs just his way of telling me thereâs nothing going on anymore, orâ¦â
I pinch the bridge of my nose between my fingers, and try to breathe. Dang it, this is the last thing I need todayâitâs Milaâs wedding shower, and I want to be there for her, to be focused on helping out any way I can, not putting out fires at work.
âDonât worry,â I tell him, doing my best to keep him calm. âIâll find a way to handle this, you have my word. You take it as some time off, rest up, have a look over the script again. Come back fresh when things kick off, yeah?â
âShould I even stick with it?â he asks.
âDonât make any decisions until we have the whole story,â I warn. âNo point jumping to conclusions when you donât know whatâs going on yet.â
âI guess youâre right,â he mutters.
âIâll get to the bottom of this,â I promise him. âIâll call you as soon as I know anything, okay?â
âSure,â he replies, and he hangs up. I can practically hear the nervousness coming off him in waves, and I donât blame him. This is his first big break, and he must feel like itâs slipping through his fingers right now, that heâs losing control of it. I donât want to waste this chance for him. I have to find out whatâs going on.
Creative differences? It has to be something to do with Joey, right? I dial his number, and pace back and forth as I wait for him to answer.
