The director watched the footage, eyes fixed thoughtfully on Rosita, who appeared just a little stiff on screen.
Night fell, and filming paused.
After dinner, the cameras rolled again.
The production team had set up a makeshift group competition at the town's old community stage.
The guests took turns performing, their two team coaches present in the audience.
Everyone managed to pull off their acts decently.
The applause from the villagers was thunderous and didn't die down for quite stime.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt was the locals' way of warmly welcoming the outsiders.
For each guest, this was an experience they wouldn't easily forget.
Except for one person, who felt restless, every minute dragging by like an eternity.
At last, three exhausting days and two long nights of filming cto an end.
On the fourth day, the shoot wrapped up, and the guests began to make their way home.
Briony and Ferdinand left together.
Before heading back to Northborough, they made a stop in the countryside.
It had only been a little over a month, but Julia was already looking much better than before.
She was still a little absent-minded, a gentle soul lost in her own world, but her moods were much more stable.
Like a quiet, sheltered child, she would greet familiar faces politely but shrink behind Kendal whenever strangers appeared.
Briony and Ferdinand stayed in the countryside for two days.
In those two days, Briony realized her mother now depended on Kendal even more than on her.
On the flight back to Northborough, Briony shared this observation with Ferdinand.
Ferdinand listened, lips pressed together in thought, before asking, "Do you think that's a bad thing?" "It's not that," Briony replied, "I just worry that if my mom grows more and more attached to your uncle, what if one day they have to part? I'm not sure she'd be able to cope." "My uncle is still single, you know," Ferdinand replied with a gentle smile. "Mrs. Hudson can rely on him as much as she likes." Briony shook her head. "But they're not family. It just doesn't feel right." "People start to feel like family after living together for so long. Does it really matter what the paperwork says?" Ferdinand looked into verne eyes, his voice soft and warm "We've known each other for quite a while too, but you always keepat arm's length, always so polite and formal. Honestly, it makesa little sad." Briony was at a loss for words.
"You're so at ease with Mr. Delaney," Ferdinand continued, a smile in his eyes. "He calls you Bryn, and so does Mrs. Winslow. Sometimes I wonder, when will I get to call you Bryn, as naturally as they do?" Briony blinked, caught off guard.
The plane cruised high above the clouds.
In first class, Briony sat by the window.
She turned her head, meeting Ferdinand's gaze.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBehind her, the sky was a wash of gold, the clouds edged with sunlight like tufts of golden cotton.
That golden light spilled through the window, illuminating Ferdinand's striking features.
His eyes were gentle, deep as polished jade, reflecting Briony's bright, delicate face.
It took Briony a moment to gather her thoughts. Her lashes trembled, and she gave a soft laugh. "You're my friend too." "So, can I start calling you 'Bryn' from now on?" Briony nodded. "Of course." Ferdinand's lips curled into a smile. "Bryn."
Briony couldn't help but laugh. "Turns out you have a sense of humor after aft, Mr. Elsworth." Ferdinand raised an eyebrow. "Actually, I'm a bit of a recluse." Briony looked at him, puzzled. "Really?"
He held her gaze, his eyes earnest. "I used to be pretty withdrawn. But a few years ago, I met someone-someone who changed everything for me. That's why I'm who I am today." Briony's face brightened with understanding. "Then you should really thank this person."
Ferdinand's gaze lingered on her, his words layered with.

And I'm doing my best to repay her in n: my own way." As the plane began its descent, Briony turned to pull down the window shade.
Beside her, Ferdinand watched her quietly, something unspoken flickering deep in his eyes.
