I’m on a movie set. A darkly lit setup in a small bedroom. The wood paneled walls extend all around with curtains and candles and lighting equipment and tripods scattered precariously across one side of the room.
Windows drawn, lots of shadows, chatter all around. I’m looking over this camera rig attached to my chest. Tightening straps and looking into the display to check the light levels. The crew is small, a lighting guy, the dude holding the boom microphone, the director, and me with the camera. The clicks of equipment locking into place and mumbles of double checks is quieted by the director announcing we’re ready.
You walk in dressed ready for a business meeting followed by a shadowy tall man, dressed just as well. His tie properly fit against his neck, your buttons secured over a white collared blouse.
The director talks to the two of you closely while my eyes wander from your bright red lips all the way down to your matching red pumps and back again. Our eyes meet and my heart skips.
