He was skinnier.
He looked around and his eyes landed on me.
He found a place to sit down.
I tried not to look at him.
I laughed
I ran to the bathroom to vomit.
When I came back, I felt better.
Scarlett had fallen asleep.
I heard a man say, “Scarlett Hayes is pretty.
She’s starring
in, I knew you
be interested in her.
would
Justin raised his eyes and said, “No.”
The producer lowered his voice.
“You can rest assured that no one in this
room will remember tonight. As for her agent,
I can take her out, she is also very drunk.”
I was angry.
His face went cold.
He first picked up a glass, then a bottle, and
threw it at the producer’s face.

The producer screamed.
Justin grabbed him by the neck.
I could hear the producer gasping.
I could see the blood running down Justin’s
hand.
I grabbed Justin’s hand. “Stop.”
He loosened his grip, turned to me, and
brushed the hair off my face. “Are you okay?
Did you drink too much?”
I wanted to cry.
Scarlett was startled and looked around.
“What’s going on? Where am I? Justin?”
Justin pushed her into a chair.
Then she fell asleep. :
Justin called Owen, and said, “Does your wife
need you?” He sent Owen the location.
Owen drove over in ten minutes.
He took Scarlett in his arms and left.
I was standing in the room, Justin.
I said, “Then I’ll go home.”
Justin grabbed me and asked, “What was that
hug for?”
“It was an emergency.”
He pulled me into his lap, put his head on my
neck, and said, “I don’t care. I was going to
let you go, but you grabbed me first.”
He looked like a dog, warm, and always
rubbing against me.
“I have no feelings for Willow. It was her dad.
I couldn’t refuse. I had a fight with Owen. I
really like you.”
“I was always working. Now I will only work
five days a week. The rest of the time I will
spend with you. I saw all that funny stuff. I
can get your jokes now.”
“My wife, look at me…”
He held my face.
I was about to give in.
