Chapter 212
“No,” Natalie shook her head, a flicker of confusion dancing in her eyes.
She noticed although she was engaged in conversation, his gaze seemed fixated on Rosie, who stood behind her, tinged with a hint of concern.
It couldn’t be clearer that he referred only to Rosie when he asked if someone was hurt.
Natalie paused, glancing back at Rosie, who was absorbed in flipping through the script handed to her by a crew member, oblivious to Lundy’s watchful eye.
A lightbulb went off in Natalie’s mind. It seemed she had coasted into the scene on Rosie’s coattails.
Meanwhile, a fan nearby aimed their camera at both Lundy and Natalie.
Feeling overwhelmed by the attention, Natalie quickly turned and made her way to the set, not daring to linger outside any longer..
The scenes shot at Heartland College were Natalie’s domain, focusing on her experiences studying at a Western institution. Director Miller had secured the campus for about a week, and the shooting schedule was intense. No sooner had they arrived on location than the fast–paced filming commenced.
They shot from sunrise to well past midnight for three days.
The fourth day was slightly easier, with fewer scenes during the day, but a lengthy one awaited them that night.
Lunch boxes arrived after they wrapped up the morning’s work around one or two in the afternoon. Natalie, nearly too exhausted to stand, her legs trembling with fatigue, plopped down on a curbstone and hastily ate a few bites.

She appeared calm.
“Do you know Lundy?” Natalie probed softly after a moment.
“Not exactly,” Rosie responded, shaking her head and flashing a half–smile as she smoothly steered the conversation away from the topic of Lundy.
