Video Shoot (Part 1)

Ethan smirked. "You mean the phase when you pretended to be interested in high society parties just for the connections?"

Zack snapped his fingers. "Bingo."

Ethan shook his head, floating closer to the pool's edge. "So, how'd that lead to her?"

Zack stretched his arms above his head before settling into a more relaxed posture. 

"Well, she was at this ridiculously over-the-top charity gala — one of those events where everyone pretends to care about world hunger while wearing watches worth a down payment on a mansion."

Ethan huffed a quiet laugh. "Sounds about right."

Zack smirked. "Anyway, I saw her across the room. Gorgeous, confident, carrying herself like she owned the place. I'd heard about her before, but seeing her in person? Different energy."

Ethan rested his arms on the pool's edge, listening with mild amusement.
