She crossed her arms.
“What are you laughing at?
“You don’t think my acting is good? I think if I made my debut, I could become just as good as any Oscar winner.”
“Oh.” He pretended to look surprised. “Then the Academy Awards really missed out by not inviting you.”
Every word dripped with sarcasm.
“What?” She refused to lose. Her eyes flew wide open. She covered her mouth with both hands and put on an exaggerated expression of delight. Her voice climbed an octave. “So you’re saying you’re going to help me attend the Academy Awards?”
Toby fell silent.
The room stayed quiet for a short moment.
“Maya, if you really want to become an actress…” Alfred blinked. He was completely caught up in her sudden dream of becoming an actress. “I’ll help you.”
Maya eagerly interrupted, “You’ll cheer me on?”
She assumed Alfred meant holding signs, waving banners, and supporting her like an ordinary
fan.

Maya thought for a moment. “Is a place like that fun?”
“It is.”
