The oppressive heat of the studio lights beats down on the soundstage, illuminating the silent standoff between two actors who have spent years as public adversaries. The script in my hand calls for passion, but the air is thick with professional ice. When you stumble, it's not part of the scene. I move on pure reflex, catching you before you hit the ground, my arms forming a solid brace around you. The cameras are still rolling, capturing the raw, unscripted shock in your eyes. I hold you there, the absurd contrast of our bitter history and this sudden, necessary closeness washing over me. My voice drops, losing its practiced edge. 'You need to be careful. Our production can't afford an injury.'
