so late in the spring, it just makes sense. Jack and Angie are on their way to see the kids they represent at an Easter egg hunt. Brock’s character wants in on the action, so he sets himself up as a sandwich delivery guy to get into the party.”
    â€œHey, I love all of it.” Brock’s smooth voice caught my attention once again. I turned to look at him, again captivated by his gorgeous eyes. “It will stretch me to use a Greek accent, but I think I can handle the role. I’ll work on it until I’ve got it right.”
    â€œOh, I feel sure you can handle anything you put your mind to.” Erin flashed a smile so bright you would’ve thought she was auditioning for a toothpaste commercial.
    He returned the smile, his gaze lingering on her for a bit longer than one might expect.
    â€œIt’s going to be an award-winning episode,” Rex added. “I can feel it in my gut.”
    Kat shifted in her chair. “I’m just curious, how are you going to keep things going when I’m on maternity leave?”
    I’d been waiting for this conversation for weeks, so I dove right in. “I talked to the writers about that at length. We’ve got a plan of action for the last couple episodes of the season. Scott will play a larger role, and so will the children and several of last season’s elderly guests. And we’re hoping that Lenora will have more of a presence.”
    Lenora’s cheeks turned the loveliest shade of pink. “Oh, I love having a presence.”
    Kat flashed me a warning look. I knew she’d been worried about her grandmother’s fragile state ever since the Alzheimer’s diagnosis. Still, what could we do? Lenora wanted to continue on with the show, and who was I to turn away an aging Hollywood star—especially when we needed her as never before?
    â€œI was a big star once, you know.” Lenora gave me a wink.
    â€œYou’re still a big star, my dear,” Rex said as he slipped an arm over her shoulder. “It’s the pictures that got small.”
    She giggled and her cheeks flushed pink. “Oh, I love that line. Gloria Swanson said that in Sunset Boulevard .”
    â€œIn 1950.” Rex winked.
    Lenora sighed. “Oh, movies and television were wonderful back in the old days. These days everything is so rushed, so much about ratings.”
    â€œWell, keeping our audience happy is key. We’ve got to give them what they’ve come to expect from us—quality acting and great stories.” I turned to Kat. “But to answer your question, we’ve got it covered. Our audience has been following Angie’s pregnancy over the last several months. They know she’s about to deliver. So having her away from the show for a few weeks will be fine. But Rex and I decided that while Angie’s away, the mice will play.”
    â€œThe mice will play?” Kat and Scott looked confused.
    â€œWe’re thinking that it would be nice to keep Brock on the show through the end of the season. We’re talking only a few weeks, after all.”
    A little gasp went up from Erin, who apparently liked this idea—a lot.
    â€œIf he’s really a rival talent scout and not a sandwich delivery guy, then imagine the possibilities. Maybe he tries to steal some of the kids away from the agency.”
    â€œOoo, can I be stolen away too?” Lenora clasped her hands together and giggled as she batted her eyelashes at Brock. “What fun!”
    â€œWell, we were thinking of Candy’s character first,” I said. “She might be a little diva, but we’ve set her up as the agency’s biggest moneymaker. It would be fun to have Brock’s character try to snatch her away from the Stars Collide agency and make money off her.”
    â€œWhat’s the name of this talent agency I’m running, anyway?” Brock asked. “Just curious.”
    â€œI think the writers came up
