it, and I liked the story, so I accepted the role. Principal photography is set to start in November, at the earliest.”
“That’s soon. And, who’s playing your love interest?”
Brad grinned as though he had just found out he was taking his high school crush to prom. His blue eyes were shining with excitement.
“Lizzy Conley. It fits, as her character is British and she looks the part. Not to mention that she’s so talented.”
Lizzy Conley was an actress who was well known for having played a starring role in an action slash techno thriller movie set in the future. Her most recent role was as a love interest in a contemporary romantic comedy.
“Yeah, she seems awesome. I admire her a lot.”
Brad nodded, looking excited.
“Do you think I could meet her?” Amanda asked.
“That’s no problem. I could take you to one of the sets when shooting commences. Remember the last time you were in a set of a movie I was in?”
“Yeah, in New York.”
Brad nodded.
“Where’s your new movie filming?”
“Part of the shoot will be in Arkansas, but most of the film takes place in Europe.”
“I see. That means you’ll be traveling.”
“Yep. Don’t look so sad, girl. You may well have a chance to attend most of the shoots with me during your school holidays.”
“That’s true. I’ll think about it.”
Brad nodded. He finished the rest of his water.
“And you?” he asked, setting the glass on top of the coffee table. “Do you have any more photo shoots?”
“Not at the moment,” Amanda replied. “Among the few things I’ve got coming up is that I’ll be on the cover of GQ this October.”
Brad raised his eyebrows.
“I’ll be sure to pick up that issue if I have the chance.”
Amanda smiled, thinking about something.
“What is it?” Brad asked. Amanda took some time to answer.
“I wonder if I should retire from modeling.”
“I don’t know,” Brad said, sighing. “You could easily become one of the world’s top models, but it’s your call.”
“The work is fun and I enjoy it, but I love architecture more. If I retire, it would give me more time to concentrate on my studies.”
“Whatever you choose, I’ll be there to support you. You’d make an awesome architect, too. Who knows, maybe one day I’ll be hiring you to build my own house.”
“Oh, don’t get me started,” Amanda warned him with a laugh. “If you spur me on, I’ll get carried away and come up with a concept by tomorrow.”
“No, no, no!” Brad replied in mock horror. “Wait five or ten more years at least, okay? I haven’t even got a girlfriend yet.”
Amanda and Brad laughed together.
“All right. I was just bluffing.”
“I know. I still wouldn’t put it past you to get carried away, though.”
Amanda slapped the back of Brad’s head lightly. He then changed the subject.
“How are you doing on your first semester of college so far?”
“It’s been great. Ithaca’s a nice change after all the big cities I’ve been to over the past few years. It’s nice to be someplace where I can go out and about without having cameras aimed at me.”
“You’re already that famous?”
“I know. I’m surprised by that, too. I never expected this kind of response from people.”
“You’re adorably beautiful, Amanda. If we weren’t such great friends, your beauty would hurt me.”
Amanda narrowed her eyes in mock irritation.
“Did you know you have lots of fans on Twitter and Tumblr?”
“I did. There are fan accounts there. I’ve gotten nice messages from my fans. A few of them have even sent me gifts.”
“Wow.”
“Yeah. I have a copy of The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight that a fan thought I would like to read.”
“Is there a hidden message there?”
“No. The fan is a woman. She found me on Goodreads and recognized me. She was so thrilled about having me for a friend.”
“Wow. You better give me tips about handling fans, then. I’m going to be the
