Early the next morning, I received a message from Theo as soon as I opened my eyes: [I’ve boarded the plane].
So early?
I stretched and turned to look at Shannon. She was still asleep, so I woke her up. "Get up. We're going to be late soon."
"Got it,” she replied blearily.
Harriet would not start acting out anymore now that Theo had gone home.
Work proceeded smoothly for the next few days.
After filming ended, Shannon and I bought plane tickets to go back home.
"I can finally go home. I miss Jordan and my baby." Shannon's eyes were shining. It looked like she was really looking forward to going back to Whaldorf City.
I also began thinking of Munchkin and the other two when she brought the children up.
"Everything went smoothly after Theo left. Our shooting progress became much quicker too. I wonder if Harriet wasn’t in the mood previously because she was thinking about how to seduce Theo during the two days he was here?” Shannon said to me.
"How do you come up with these ideas?" I shook my head helplessly.
Shannon was vehement. "Of course, it's a reasonable guess. Don't you think so? Or are you afraid to think about it?"
What she said stunned me. I could see Harriet's love for Theo. During the two days when Theo was there, Harriet had indeed not been as natural as she was in the days after. Could it be because of Theo?
They were just college classmates, and Harriet was part of the entertainment circle. Why could she not let go of Theo when she had met so many younger men?
Seeing that I was distracted, Shannon nudged me. "What are you thinking about?"
"It's nothing. I’d like to rest my eyes for a bit." After saying that, I closed my eyes, but that thing about Harriet kept circling in my mind.
One hour passed quickly, and we arrived in Whaldorf City.
"Theo got Keith to come to pick us up. Let's head out now."
"Alright."
