out there like a bad GIF of some silly animal repeating some inane gesture rather than coming up with something fresh?” Logan made a tsking sound and joined them in the hallway.
    How the man continued to sneak up on her was beyond her knowledge, but it was a detail she would get to the bottom of along with everything else. She bit her lip and formulated a plan. Yes, she had to make the situation into a beginning, not an end. “Of course not. In fact, as Craig said, this is an important story, way too important to be told in one afternoon.”
    Craig exhaled and Logan leaned back on his heels, but she managed to get them both to remain silent and continued. “I mean, we barely scratched the surface with Mr. Alexander. Hollywood Stardust was one of those movies that literally changed a generation, so how can we even expect to tell the story in a five-minute video?”
    “I am extremely complex.” Logan tilted his head.
    “I don’t understand.” A fine sheen of sweat broke out on Craig’s forehead. Maybe he needed a trash can.
    Somehow, with Logan, she had gotten through the interview—maybe it wasn’t great, but it had been better than she had ever done before. She had always been bonded to this movie. It had to be a sign. “I would like to cover the anniversary of Hollywood Stardust up until the gala for the new director’s cut at the studio. I will interview the other cast members, and I’ll uncover the myths and the truths, and see where they all are now.” For once, her parents would believe in her. She would keep her job, and if she could cure her stage fright, maybe she could go on to her dream of being an actress.
    Craig gave her a slow nod.
    Her heart sped and her mind went with it as she practically saw into the future with videos and stories and a world where she went from roving reporter to actress and carried on her family tradition. In fact, the story might even be better than sex with Logan. Maybe. Probably not, but she would have her career. “Since we know the story was important enough for the vice president of the studio to speak with Mr. Alexander, and we are under the same umbrella, I’m sure there will be no problem securing the people needed to pull this off.” She held her breath waiting for Craig’s decision, but she swore Logan’s complexion paled.
    “You could be on to something.” Craig tapped his fingers against his lips. “Yes, this could be exactly what we need. I’m sure with the magnitude of the story, Julia will be more than happy to work on this project.”
    Both her heart and her mind, in fact all of her organs, stopped, actually seized. “I did better than ever today. I can do this.” Her voice came out more of a pathetic whine rather than a demand.
    “Ivy.” Craig’s tone turned parental.
    Her throat dried out, and though she wanted to stand on her own, she turned to Logan for help. Earlier, he was the first to request her and his input had to matter.
    “I’m not so sure about this little plan. Stay right there.” Without an ounce of snark, he held up one finger and walked down the hall.
    As if they both had agreed not to speak until Logan returned, they glanced at each other and then turned away. She watched Logan pace back and forth, hunched over with his phone up to his ear.
    Time seemed to halt, and she wondered what caused Logan’s sudden change in attitude. She only needed to convince Craig.
    At long last Logan returned, his pallor the same. “The execs love the idea, and as luck would have it, I will be your tour guide.”
    Why did she feel she had betrayed him in some way? “What does that mean?”
    “I will introduce you to the people you need to speak to. I will be all things Hollywood Stardust .” The color of his eyes seemed to darken.
    “That sounds like a plan. I am sure once Julia returns we can get this going.” Craig extended his hand.
    She bit the inside of her mouth to stay quiet. Funny, when the cameras weren’t rolling she could
