“Wil, either take off your sunglasses or stop fidgeting.”
Wil Greene slid her sunglasses down her nose, squinting over six rows
of people who were talking and laughing so loudly, she couldn’t hear
herself think. Hundreds of lights hung from crisscrossing catwalks
overhead, illuminating the cavernous space. She turned to her mother,
Beanie. “Explain.”
“The squirming is ruining your cool.” Beanie pointed up and down at
Wil in her good jeans and leather jacket. “If that’s what you’re going for.”
“Naturally, that’s what I’m going for. Did you see my new boots?” Wil
stuck out her feet, making Beanie roll her eyes. “It’s just that it’s so
incredibly bright in here,” Wil explained. “There must be three hundred
lights.”
The stage their chairs faced was painted severe black and backdropped
by a truly massive screen, bigger even than those in a movie theater. Just in
front of it were two mid-century-style chairs that looked quietly expensive.
Dozens of cameras and mics ringed the stage, with bored-looking press
standing around tapping on tablets and phones. Wil didn’t watch TV news,
but she recognized several faces, including a morning show anchor who
turned out to be surprisingly tiny in person, balanced on sky-high nude
heels with bright red soles.
It was surreal. Even though Wil had never been on a soundstage in her
life, and even though the lights were so much brighter than any she’d seen
before and the crowd was bigger than she’d known to expect, waiting for
Katie Price to walk onto a stage still felt completely familiar to Wil’s body.
As though no time had passed at all. When actually it had been at least,
what? A dozen years. A little longer. Thirteen.
Wil hadn’t actually laid eyes on Katie in thirteen years.
God.
She stashed her sunglasses into her bag and bussed her mom’s cheek.
“I guess I’ll go look at the set.”
Beanie gave her a quick cheek kiss back. “Good. Ask questions. All
these film students are very eager. They feel bad if you don’t talk to them
and act impressed. Do your best to make up for the massive student loan
debt they’re facing after graduation.”
“Got it. You want me to scare them with an object lesson in what
happens to a person when they don’t follow their dreams.” Wil stood, one
hip cocked to make it obvious that she was talking about herself, and
Beanie smacked her thigh with her program.
“If you want to talk about that, let’s talk about it. I saw a diner down
the street. I’ll buy the coffee and pie. Jokes like that aren’t as cute as you’d
like them to be, Wilifred Darcy Greene.”
“Obviously, I know better.” Wil kept any comedy out of her voice and
conceded the point to Beanie, who was looking at her with a lot of
knowing.
