... can just go with it, relax, and not worry too much. Based on what I heard from Diana, I have high confidence that you'll do superbly. Sound good?"

"Yes. I'll admit that I'm a bit nervous. But I'm ready."

"Fantastic. Oh, I almost forgot to have you sign the release form before we start." The director took a small stack of papers out of his briefcase. "This describes payment rate, should you be selected for a primary role. It's initially $50K/episode but could be more if we're successful, gives your permission to release footage that might be useful for promotion and production, and there's the usual disclaimers about risk, etc. that the lawyers make us put in. Would you like to read through it?"

Brennan had been thinking about her upcoming lines, about not looking directly at the cameras, and hoping that she would jive well with the other three actors. She was anxious to start.

"It's okay," she replied, taking the papers and quickly signing. "I'll have a closer look later."

"Please, please, please let me do well and be selected for the part." she thought.

Brennan was thrilled about the possible money. She had been scrapping by for the past two years. But more importantly she knew that this could be the start of something bigger if she did well.

"Any questions?" the Director asked.

"Yes, I have one. After meeting you guys, Jason, Lily, and Travis, I realized that your parts in the script are all your actual names. But my part is 'Love'."

The director ...

... laughed. "Good catch. Yes, I had just given preliminary names for my characters and then it occurred to me, why don't we just go with actual first names, as long as they don't clash with the script. You can think of Love as a filler if you like. Should you be selected for the part we can consider going with your real name as well unless you'd prefer something else."

"Oh, I see. Alright."

"Okay everyone, let's start. This is just an informal shoot. So the camerawork doesn't have to be exact. We'll just start on 'action'. Action."

FADE IN:

INT. OF BEACHFRONT RESORT - LOVE AND JASON'S ROOM - EVENING

WE OPEN on a room adorned with tropical flowers, and a soft ocean breeze rustles the curtains. Love and Jason sit on the balcony, overlooking the beach, sipping champagne.

LOVE: (smiling) Can you believe we're here, Jase? Our own little slice of paradise.

JASON:(nodding) It's surreal. I still remember our high school days in Sonoma. Who would've thought we'd end up here?

LOVE: (chuckling) Remember when we used to dream about the future? I never imagined it'd be this perfect.

JASON: (taking her hand) You were always the dreamer, Love. I just wanted to keep up.

LOVE: (looking into Jason's eyes) Life has taken us on quite a journey, hasn't it? From those teenage dreams to this beautiful moment.

JASON: (adoring) And it's only the beginning. I can't wait to see what our future holds.

LOVE: (whispering) I feel so lucky, Jase. Lucky to have met you, grown ...
