“So fast...” Kylee murmured, her lips curling into a pout.
Before he could reply, she leaned in with another question. “Since we're both out here for work, why not stay a
little longer? Keepcompany. You've never even watchedon set.”
“We'll see.” Collin checked his watch and said, “Head back to the set right now and keep filming, and do not
make the crew wait.”
There was nothing left for her to say, so she stepped into the car with reluctant grace.
As the business car pulled away, Collin’s attention shifted immediately to Lowell.

More coughing. Her voice, thin and breathless, trembled through the speaker.
