Chapter 183: Angus to the Rescue

In his cabin, Angus’s empty stomach complained loudly as he leaned over the table and shifted a pair of notecards he’d just switched moments earlier. Rubbing the back of his neck with his right hand, he straightened up and walked out onto his front porch.

The night air was crisp and all was quiet as a million stars twinkled overhead. He inhaled the scent of pine and felt a sense of peace settle over him.

During dinnertime, he’d been on a conference call with his art director, location manager, and director of photography as they worked to untangle a complication with the place they’d chosen to be the backdrop of the film. More than once, Angus found himself wishing they could shoot the movie here at Sweetwater Ranch. But they had already committed to a property just outside Aspen, Colorado, and after a couple of hours, they’d landed on a solution that everyone could live with. Now he just hoped his bank account could live with it.
