“Actually, if it’s alright with you, I’d like the roo to a patio I assume your master suite is upstairs”

“Sounds great”

“Do you need anything else for tonight?”

“No, but thank you for everything I’ll see you in the s from the SUV

After I filled boith food and water for the cat, I grabbed e and carried it upstairs, where I found a beautiful bedrooe, I pulledand used it to place a video call to Lorenzo When he appeared on the screen, I grinned and said, “You’re actually awake, even though I was right about not getting here until three am”

“I took a nap earlier to make sure I didn’t miss your call Are you at the house?”

“Yeah, I arrived about fifteen o”

“How is it?”

“Ridiculously nice Look at this bedrooainst a pillohile I sat on the bed and took off ed my PA to stay here instead of a hotel It’s way too much for one person”

“What’s your assistant like?”

“He’s great, really friendly and down-to-earth I forwarded his number to you earlier, by the way, in case you need to reach me while I’m on set or whatever”

“Thanks for doing that So, hoas your flight?” Lorenzo shifted in bed while ere talking, and I glimpsed his bare shoulder It shouldn’t have seemed so unbelievably sexy

“Uneventful, and as it turns out, exactly long enough to read the script from start to finish”

“What did you think of it?”

“It’s fantastic, and I’lad they stayed true to the book But now that the story’s been pared down to just actions and dialog, so etting it right I’d give anything to be able to sit doith the author, even just for fifteenand feeling in some of these key scenes”

Lorenzo asked, “Is that an option?”

“Sadly, no I asked about it, but the author turned down the studio’s offer to sit in on fil He’s basically a total hermit, so that’s not really a surprise”

While ere chatting, I took off ray suit and white dress shirt, whichto be that kind of video call, I’d have put on so sexy for you”

I chuckled and reminded him, “You already waited until three to hear froer while I changed”
