Under the Veil I Rule (Amara) novel Chapter 399

“Barry picked the same filming lot as us. As it happens, I’ve got a new show shooting there too. Looks like we’ll be neighbors for a while—don’t be a stranger, all right?”

Cedric and Amara had always gotten along well. He genuinely admired her talent and character, so his easy warmth was no surprise.

Amara set her fork down and smiled. “I am working with Director Barry on my next show, but unfortunately, we won’t be neighbors after all.”

“Oh?” Cedric looked puzzled. “How come?”

She took a small sip of her drink, her eyes crinkling with amusement. “Well, I won’t be staying with the crew for this next project. I’m leaving Wye for a few months to travel—something I planned a long time ago.”

After finishing Whispers of Winter, she would be heading out of town to wait for her baby’s arrival. She’d still be writing scripts for income, but wouldn’t be with the crew, working remotely with directors and cast online, just like she used to.

This was something Amara had decided on long ago, but aside from Elysia and Keith, she hadn’t told anyone else. So when she mentioned it at the table, everyone was clearly surprised.

Across from her, she could feel a piercing gaze—she didn’t have to look to know who it was. Amara forced herself not to glance over.

“Where are you traveling to?” Cedric asked. “And for so long! I never took you for the adventurous type.”

Everyone had always seen Amara as calm, reserved—a homebody, really. No one expected her to up and travel, and the revelation left them all a little shocked.
