Natalie smiled. “I knew you asked me out for this.”
“I’ve got my hands on an amazing script, and it’s perfect for you.”
Natalie paused for a moment. “I really like my life now, it’s quiet and peaceful. So, I’m sorry, you’ll have to find someone else.”
Dylan sighed. “I know you love acting, and you want to act. You’re just afraid of that person.”
“I don’t want to take the risk, and I don’t want you to either.”
Dylan knew exactly what she was thinking. He had been prepared to take that risk when he came to her, but he was also afraid of pushing her back into the spotlight.
Dylan sighed again. “This film is still in the early stages of planning. If you change your mind, just give me a call anytime.”
After a long chat with her good friend, Natalie was in high spirits when she returned to the hospital.
Kristin was also doing much better. The doctor came by to say she could be discharged the next day.
“We’ll go back to our town tomorrow. We’ve only been gone two days, but I’m already so homesick. I miss those neighbors who play cards at our door all day, and the smell of our neighbor’s baking.”
Natalie chattered on as she packed, wishing they could leave that very night.
Penelope was scrolling through her phone, sighing repeatedly.
“What are you sighing about?” Natalie asked, turning around.
Penelope looked up. “You said you were having dinner with a good friend. Is this friend a director?”
“Yes.”
“A married man in his forties?”
Natalie laughed. “Is there a problem with that?”
