The scent of coconut sunscreen lingered on Evelyn Coleman’s skin as
she reclined on the cushioned lounger. The sun’s rays warmed her
skin, promising a natural tan in just a few days. She closed her eyes,
listening to the gentle lapping of the infinity pool’s waterfall, willing the
rhythmic sound to relax her, but it was going to take more than some
soothing background noise for her to get over yet another part slipping out
of her grasp.
The loud thudding of her phone vibrating on the table beside her cut
through the peaceful silence. She sighed as she opened her eyes and slid her
shades on top of her head. She saw her manager’s name on the screen for
what felt like the tenth time today.
Evelyn stared at the screen, not yet ready to talk to Arianna. She set the
phone down and reached for the chilled glass of lemonade beside it, the
condensation wet against her palm. She took a long drink, the ice cubes
gently clinking against one another. The sound of the sliding door opening
drew her gaze to the house.
Evelyn stifled a sigh, knowing Arianna had let herself in with the spare
key meant for emergencies. This hardly qualified as one. If Evelyn chose
not to answer her phone, Arianna should respect that.
“There you are,” Arianna’s clipped voice carried across the pool area.
“You’ve been avoiding my calls I see.” She stood in front of Evelyn,
blocking out the sun, her eyes flicking to the phone that was within
Evelyn’s reach.
“I need some time to process this.” After the first leading role she’d lost
two years ago, she’d thought it had been a one-off thing. But the second
time it happened, the actress had been ten years younger than her. The third
time, Arianna had convinced her the director had a history with the actress
chosen over her, that her Oscar and three Golden Globes were irrelevant.
But now, another role had slipped away, and Evelyn was faced with the
harsh reality of being a forty-seven year old woman in Hollywood.
Arianna sighed, her expression softening as she took a seat on the
lounger beside her. “I know this is tough, but hiding out here isn’t going to
change anything.”
Evelyn met her gaze before sliding her shades back on. “I’m not hiding.
I just need some time.”
Arianna didn’t stretch out. She sat facing Evelyn, her hands clasped, her
elbows on her thighs. “Call it what you want, but we need to strategize your
next move. Sooner rather than later.”
A laugh bubbled up from Evelyn’s throat. “What next move? My last
four moves have been complete failures. It’s not a coincidence. It’s not the
director. I have to face the fact that I’m getting old, Ari.”
Arianna opened her mouth and closed it again. She pressed her lips
together. “I’m not going to argue with you. We both know how unfair this
business is to women our age. But that doesn’t mean it’s time to give up.
There are other roles. Other projects.”
