ELIJAH
Elijah Dunne hated red carpet events. It made him sound like a complete
asshole, but it was true. They turned his stomach; they had since he was
little. It wasn’t the cameras or the reporters or even the screaming fans. It
was the access. The moment he stepped out of the car, he no longer
belonged to himself. Anybody could do whatever they wanted and all he
could do was just take it.
The limo driver lingered outside, hand on the door handle waiting for
Elijah to knock and let him know he could open the door, but he couldn’t
bring himself to do it. He couldn’t put it off much longer. Other cars were
waiting. He stared out the window, feeling like he had a boulder in his
stomach despite not eating all day. Cameras flashed, causing lights to dance
in front of his eyes.
His co-star and date, Delissandra Cortes, squeezed his leg, bouncing in
her seat a bit. “Look at all of them. This is surreal. I know it’s nothing to
you but, like, holy shit. Nobody back home in Des Moines will believe any
of this.” She turned away from him, taking a video of the lights flashing
behind her.
He spared her a glance, wishing he could shed his foul mood and just
enjoy the night for what it was, a chance for the world to see all their hard
work come to fruition. He was at Sundance. It was a huge deal. They’d all
worked so hard on this movie. He needed to just suck it up. This was what
he did. It was who he was. He was an actor. He could act like he felt
something more than blind panic. If he could just get in the right headspace,
he could be whoever they wanted him to be.
“Jesus, Elijah. All these people are here for you. The least you could do
is look happy. Just open the door and let’s do this before my hair wilts.”
He took a deep breath and let it out before rapping his knuckles against
the window. The driver swept the door open and a million flashing lights
made him wince He never got used to that. Once he exited the car, he turned
to help Delissandra from the vehicle. Her heels were so high, he doubted
she could manage it on her own. Nobody showed up to Sundance in tuxes
and ball gowns. No, Utah is where they came to out-chic each other.
Everybody but Elijah and his boring black jeans and black button-down
combo… Lucifer approved.
His heart dropped at even the thought of her name. She was out there
somewhere, swimming with the other sharks, even though she had no
reason to be on the carpet. That’s why he had Paige, his publicist, for
navigating events like this. But Lucifer always had an agenda. Fuck. He just
wanted to go home.
