But judging from her simple "hmm" and her current expression, it seemed that her relationship with Rupert Brightwood wasn't entirely satisfactory. She didn't intend to elaborate, and Spencer, being perceptive, didn't press further.
"Um..." To avoid being dismissed and to spend more time with her, Spencer changed the topic. "Summer, shall we discuss the script for a bit?"
Summer stood up and threw the peach pit into the trash can. "Sure." She turned and fetched the script. "We start reshooting tomorrow. I really hope there won't be any more setbacks."
"Are you saying that for my benefit?" Spencer looked at her seriously.
Summer met his gaze and answered earnestly, "No."
"I promise you, there won't be any delays because of me!" He was confident that no one in the crew would dare to trouble Summer again.
The girl looked away and opened the script. "I've been thinking about the character Riverflow; I believe she has a rich inner world."
"If you've read the novel, you'd find it even better than the script."
"..."
They began discussing the characters in the script.
On the way home, Mr. Brightwood drove while Mrs. Brightwood sat in the passenger seat. She hesitated several times, feeling as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
Mr. Brightwood glanced at her occasionally, knowing what was on her mind. He felt heavy-hearted too.
"If Rupert doesn't come back soon, someone else will steal his place!" Mrs. Brightwood said anxiously. "The more I think about Summer's neighbor, the more uneasy I feel."
