... thought. It had taken such a long time; it had even taxed her unusually deep capacity and reserves of patience.

"I wonder whether I'll be able to eventually find my way back to myself. I hope maybe at least a third of the way back in the near future."

She slowly walked back into the apartment.

"I can't tell you how excited I am. It almost feels as though I'm soaring through a dream, being cast as one of the leading characters. It's been so long coming." Brennan had just spent the morning and early afternoon shooting scenes from the "Villas of Sunset" pilot episode.

"I'm so happy for you. You deserve to be here though. That's the main thing. Your run through audition yesterday was perfect. I'm excited too, about having the chance to work with you," Travis replied smiling at Brennan.

"Thanks Travis. I was confident last night and had a good feeling about it. I..hey, last evening, I enjoyed being with you. Out by..on the balcony last night."

Though it seems a little over the top -- a wife on her honeymoon having an affair with the husband of another honeymooning couple? And to have the other wife encourage it? My method is to always try and place myself in my character. In this case, it's a challenge to switch rapidly from a wife infatuated with her husband to a woman who would go off the rails like that. Almost like I have to play two different characters. But I'll do my best."

"Hey kids," Lily came up between Brennan and Travis, her attractive face framed by her short blond hair. She stood between them and placed her arms around their waists. "You ready for the rest of the episode?"

"I'm a little nervous," Brennan admitted with a worried laugh. "How about you Lily? Have you ever done a scene like mine before?"

"Oh yes. Many times. It's routine in the LA theater. Or at least in the roles I've been selected to play. Just put yourself in the place of your character and don't be self-conscious. ...
