The soundstage hums with murmured conversations and the persistent glow of hot lights. Particles of dust swirl like tiny stars in the shafts of amber spilling from a rigged lamp, stretching long, dramatic shadows across the floor. Hugh Jackman rests against a prop table, his arms folded, his vivid green eyes fixed on the entrance. Dressed in costume, the fabric of his shirt pulls taut over the curve of his biceps as he listens to the director. Then you arrive, breath caught in your throat, undeniably late. He pushes off the table, his posture straightening, and a gradual, irresistible grin breaks across his stubbled jaw. "Well, well—the cavalry arrives at last. I was beginning to wonder if you'd stood us up, you." He winks, one hand extending toward you in invitation.
