He captured her, imprisoned her, forced her to do things she didn’t want to do, and why was she still willing to save him?
“Because Phoenix and Maximus will always be the best partners.”
Amidst the blazing flames, their silhouettes walking away together were just like when they first entered Ignite Camp.
“Cut!”
“Perfect, that’s a wrap! Congratulations to Phoenix for wrapping up! Congratulations to Maximus for wrapping up! Congratulations to the entire crew of Realm of Illusions for wrapping up!”
As the “cut” was called the whole set erupted in celebration. Confetti flew, applause resounded, and a cake cart was pushed in.
“Great work, everyone!”
Xanthea greeted each crew member, and was about to take off her night costume when she spotted Orion behind the camera.
“Xan, it was really great working with you this time.”
The actor playing Maximus opened his arms, intending to give her a big hug, only to see her push past him and run, “?”
“Ori!”
Xanthea’s face lit up with a smile, running into Orion’s arms like a joyful fluttering bird.
Orion caught her effortlessly, lowering his head to inhale her sweet fragrance, as if to calm the intense emotions within him.
The actor playing Maximus: ? I thought I was your dear partner.
Absence makes the heart grow fonder. Their feelings have heated up way so fast. Xan used to be so coy, and now she’s not even avoiding anyone!
“Happy wrap, my Max!”
Xanthea whispered happily into his ear; Orion was slightly stunned at first, then his eyes crinkled with a smile, “Happy wrap, my goddess.”
“Hahaha, have you turned into my fan?”
