Selene~
Weeks passed.
I still couldn't go out in public without my face mask out of fear of public scrutiny. Life was great, Luca and I had officially started dating, but in secret, of course.
Christopher and I only spoke when necessary, occasional greetings and talks about the movie with the director but that was it.
But just before each scene I was to shoot, he would pull me aside and his tone would drop from professional to soft. He would calm me down with his voice before he would hypnotize me. No matter how tense I was feeling, his voice always managed to make me melt, it wasn't because I trusted him or anything in particular but because I remembered the kind of calm his presence used to bring me.
He never talked about the threat to my life, I never got attacked. Outside these scenes and these secret meetings, we were strangers.
He never brought up the night he stood me up and I never asked why. I'd already made my choice.
