After the online chaos Jasper had stirred up, I couldn't shake the awkwardness. It had been days since we'd had a real conversation. Outside the set, our exchanges were almost nonexistent.
I snapped out of my thoughts and returned Naomi's smile. The progress she'd made on set was hard to ignore. If she kept at it, she'd be a star in no time.

The next morning, just as I finished washing up and was about to throw on my jacket to head to set, my phone buzzed from the shoe rack.
"Hello?" I said, slipping on my shoes and grabbing the phone.
It was Caden.
"Got ttonight? Want to grab dinner?" he asked.
"Caden?" I replied, a bit confused. Glancing at my watch, I realized it was too early for work. "Why are you callingnow?" "Is that a problem?" His voice was light, teasing almost.
I chuckled, but then the thought of dinner madehesitate.
If we met privately, wouldn't Heidi catch wind of it? "I just "I paused, "Won't it look suspicious if we meet now? What if Heidi finds out?" Caden's tone shifted, more subdued now.
He took a beat before replying, "It's fine. She trustsnow. Doesn't cling as much anymore. Actually, she's been a little distant. Probably still thinking about that plan I shared with her. Anyway, if you're free tonight, let's meet at Wisteria Restaurant. I've already booked a table.

"Okay." Caden's voice softened, the tension lifting now that I'd agreed Jasper's POV: When Rosaline walked onto the set, I was already running lines with my scene partner.

I really wanted to give it a shot. It seemed only natural. But lately, her coldness made it impossible to know how to approach her. So, I could only manage a stiff smile.
"Great work, everyone," Rosaline announced, her voice clear and warm. “After the shoot, grab a milk tea and take a break," she added, holding up two bags filled with the drinks.
During the break, she walked over towith a cup in her hand. "Here, you can have one too. No sugar- keeps you in shape," she said, handingthe drink.
I glanced up and saw her, smiling, and I couldn't help but smile back as I accepted the tea. "Thanks." Shem turned to leave, but I couldn't let her walk away without saying something. "Wait, hold on." She paused and turned, looking atcuriously. "Is something wrong?" I hesitated, my throat tight. Finally, I sighed. "I'm sorry Back when we were talking to the press...

"So... we're still good, right? Still friends?" She smiled softly, the edges of her tension easing. "Yeah." That small answer was enough. I could breathe again.
