Hadley shot him a pointed look, slipping her hand free from his grasp with a shake of her head. "You go look after her." I'd rather stay and finish this film-it's quite good." "Hadley..." Eric tried again, his tone softer. "Must you be so unreasonable?" Hadley's patience was fraying now, a trace of irritation creeping into her voice. "It's bad enough you won't stay to watch with me, but now you won't even letenjoy it in peace? I'm really enjoying this movie." "Hadley..." Eric pressed.

"I'll take my leave now." This time, Hadley didn't bother with a reply, merely flicking her hand in a dismissive gesture.
Eric's brow creased slightly as he exited the theater.

"Eric, you came." Linda propped herself up against the headboard, her complexion pale and wan. "Sorry to drag you all the way here. It's nothing dire-just low blood sugar from skipping lunch while rushing through the shoot." She gestured to the IV drip beside her. "A couple of these, and I'll be right as rain." Then she turned to her agent and assistant with a playful scolding. "You lot always make a mountain out of a molehill." "They're only looking out for you," Eric said, pulling up a chair to sit by her bedside. "But honestly, with all the wedding preparations on your plate, why push yourself so hard at work?" Linda managed a faint chuckle. "Well, a job worth doing is worth doing well, isn't it?" Her gaze flickered past Eric, a shadow of disappointment crossing her face. "Ernest didn't come?"

"Oh." Linda nodded, accepting his words at face value. "That's om considerate of you. Ernest is still recovering, after all." "Indeed," Eric replied, his tone neutral but his thoughts elsewhere.
