First Rehearsal

"It's been a while since I played in a movie." Charlotte gave a brief speech. "I hope you can all guide me and that we can work together to create this amazing movie."

The director, Logan, smiled at her. "Well said, Charlotte. We're thrilled to have you on board. Now, let me introduce you to everyone."

After meeting a few supporting actors, Logan gestured toward a man seated at the far end of the table. He was tall and rugged, with sharp features and an intense gaze that seemed to pierce right through her.

"This is Ethan Reed," Logan said. "He'll be playing Alan, Lena's abusive husband."

Ethan stood. "It's nice to meet you, Charlotte," he said, offering his hand.

Ethan's grip was firm, almost too firm, as if it mirrored the character he was about to portray.

"Nice to meet you too, Ethan," she said.

Even though he seemed like a harsh person, the man was actually so sweet and kind.
