with some guy, who happens to be some loser movie star.”
    “ He’s not a loser!” Chloe said angrily.
    “ And how do you know?”
    “ I saw him on Ellen!” Saying it out loud made Chloe see how lame she sounded.
    Ben snickered. “Well, that settles it.” He gave her a peck on the forehead and headed into the living room. He turned on the Yankees game, and flopped down on the couch.
    ***
    Chloe moved towards the Booth theatre with confidence. She was only yards away and she had given herself a huge pep talk on the subway this morning. She was more than deserving of this part, and she knew that in time,  Ben would be alright with her choices. Luckily, Ben had left early for work so he hadn’t seen Chloe painstakingly blow drying her hair out and applying a little more makeup than normal.
    She wanted to make a good first impression.
    Chloe stepped into the lobby of the Booth theatre and looked around in awe.
    She was in a real Broadway theatre.
    And not just to see a play.
    She was in the play.
    Smiling broadly, she pushed open the doors to the theatre.
    The set was up in bits and pieces and she saw Andre and Ryan milling around on the stage, talking quietly. Jenny and Ni were sitting off to one side; their eyes focused on someone a few rows ahead. Chloe followed their gaze and her eyes came to rest on the back of Finn Harrison’s head.
    At least she thought it was the back of his head.
    This person was sitting in the front row, bent over their seat, studying what appeared to be a script. Chloe couldn’t make out any other features. She walked down the aisle, heading for Ni and Jenny, when the mystery person turned around.
    It was Finn Harrison.
    His dark brown hair was slightly outgrown and messy. It looked as if he had been running his hands through it. His eyes were a piercing blue; his trademark feature. He had a strong jaw line that was covered in a slight stubble and he looked effortlessly cool and handsome.
    And not only that, but it was as if he had sensed Chloe coming down the aisle. He looked directly at her and their eyes locked. Chloe felt swallowed up his gaze. She stopped dead in her tracks, mesmerized. Something about Finn, pulled her in, and she got lost in the depths of his eyes. She felt a magnetic pull towards him and her heart began to race erratically. She could hear the blood pounding in her ears and she felt a twinge somewhere deep below. A twinge that she knew Ben would never, ever approve.
    Gulping, Chloe looked away and tried to move towards Ni and Jenny. But when she looked back, Finn was still fixed on her, his eyes dark and unreadable. Chloe gave a weak smile and moved towards Ni and Jenny. Finn turned back around and Chloe exhaled, she hadn’t realized that she had been holding her breath.
    “ What the hell was that?” Ni whispered as Chloe sat next to her. Jenny’s eyes seemed to be bugging out of her head.
    So, Ni and Jenny noticed too.
    “ I have no idea,” Chloe whispered back, sinking low into her seat.
    She felt as if her entire world had suddenly shifted. One minute she was walking into the theatre, feeling the full realization of her dreams coming true and the next minute she couldn’t tell up from down, or her head from her ass.
    Why had Finn looked so intently at her? And why had she felt such a pull to him? Chloe had never felt that way about anyone before. She was shaken and confused, but she tried to get a hold of herself, reminding herself that she had never actually seen a movie star in the flesh before. Sure, she had passed some on the streets, and once or twice gotten a glance of someone famous in a restaurant, but it was disarming seeing someone so famous, sitting so casually nearby.
    Chloe had to remind herself again that Finn Harrison was her cast mate. They would be working together. Sharing breaks and lines together. Sharing pretend intimate moments. The thought of kissing Finn after that intense moment made Chloe want to throw up.
    “ He couldn’t take
