Director Z nodded. "Brown, Aurora, take ten. Talk things through a bit. You're playing a couple—you can't look like strangers on screen."
Aurora gave an awkward nod.
Usually, she had no trouble getting into character for music videos. But with Everett here… she just couldn't. It felt like he was constantly watching her, and it threw her off completely.
No, she had to talk to him.
She shot Everett a deliberate glance, then looked away with a touch of defiance before walking into the rest area.
Brown followed, but when he saw Everett step in too, his heart sank a little.
"Everett, your scene's not up yet. How about I talk to—"
"Brown," Aurora cut him off gently, "I need to talk to Everett alone. Could you give us a minute?"
Brown was stunned. He thought Aurora wouldn't want to be alone with Everett.
After all, there had been rumors about the two before. Lately, she'd been avoiding him at every event. Brown knew that much.
