know the extent of Evan’s love life as she had just met him, but she was smart enough to piece together the information offered to her.
    Whether or not he was extending the invitation to go together, Alisa didn’t bite.  There was so much about Evan Gable she needed to know before leaving herself vulnerable to that sort of invite.  Besides, Joann and Evie were there to go with her if she was without Logan.
    There was a long stretch of silence.  Alisa was staring at the show script, trying to figure out why she couldn’t find the right actors.  They needed to get the new, extended part of the cast together soon, or the studio may have to find them themselves or just pull the plug.  Alisa had worked so hard for this; she prayed it was not the latter.
    There was rustling and when she looked up, Evan had taken a packet of paper from the table.  
    “Aw, come on, what do you mean you can’t take my case? I practically did all the work for you.  You can’t tell me I did all of that for nothing.”  The words seemed so familiar.  It was a line from the script set out for those auditioning.  That was the same line she’d heard over a thousand times, but she had never heard it delivered like that.
    Without even thinking about it, she dropped her eyes to read the lines that were next in sequence. “I’m just saying that there’s a certain protocol    ”
    “Protocol? The case called for some investigation.” His pale blue eyes dug deep into hers as he stepped in closer to deliver the lines in the scene.
    “The police conduct investigations, not us.”
    “The police wouldn’t get near it, so I had to do all of this.  It wasn’t easy, but I’m pretty sure I got everything we need. Theresa, you need me.  I need you.”
    “Aaron    ”
    Just like that, their faces were incredibly close to one another.  So close, in fact, she could see his pupils had dilated some, and there were specks of green, yellow, and azure in his irises. Alisa could smell the cologne he was wearing, down to each note in the formula.  
    “Then they kiss. Good scene.”
    She exhaled slowly, realizing she’d been holding her breath the entire time.
    “Sorry… am I interrupting something?” Ray looked over from the door.  He had two lattes in his hand.
    “No, actually. I was just getting out of here since I know you guys have stuff to do right now, uh…good read though. I had fun.  Thanks, Lis. I’ll be in touch.”
    Is that him!? Ray mouthed.
    Alisa nervously nodded at Ray before turning back to Evan.  “Bye, Evan.”
    Oh my God!
    She could read Ray’s lips perfectly.  
    Once the door clicked shut, he let out a deep groan. “Good lord, woman.  He is a heart attack and a half.”
    “You’re telling me.”
    “He doesn’t seem as bad as you keep telling me he is.  Date for the premiere?”
    Alisa pointed. “Don’t. Even.”
    “What? I’m just saying that he is a refreshing glass of tall, dark, and handsome.  Also, I think he read Aaron really well.”  Ray said as he got situated in his chair.
    Her face turned red.  “You caught that?”
    Ray nodded, “Well yeah, it was a great scene read.  Though, I was a little disappointed by the ending.”
    “What do you mean?” Alisa asked.
    “The big finale.” He winked.
    Alisa wasn’t sure it was possible, but her face felt hotter.  The end of the scene was the kiss, that pivotal moment shared by the two new characters, the time Aaron confesses his feelings for Theresa.  It was a few episodes into the season, but Kassidy figured this was a good scene to watch for the chemistry between the two new cast members.  
    She thought of the way he smelled, those piercing blue eyes that were unforgettable, and shook her head. “You stop that right now.”
    “Fine, fine,” he laughed, raising both hands in surrender. “Everyone’s waiting out front.  Let’s get started, so we can get outta here.”
    By the end of the session, each open listing had a handful of
