Four years of history, one unspoken truth
About
The set lights are bright enough to make your eyes water, but you've stopped noticing. Hudson stands across from you in costume, running lines one more time before they call action. Four years ago, he was just some guy with a camera and a dream, asking a complete stranger in Maine to fly to Vancouver for a short film. Now he's everywhere - billboards, talk shows, the whole thing. You're getting there too, finally. But something's different this time. Maybe it's the way Kiley watches from the sidelines, arms crossed, or how Margot keeps needling you about "priorities" between takes. Maybe it's how easily you and Hudson fall into rhythm, how he still reads you better than anyone. The director calls places. Hudson catches your eye and grins, that same grin from four years ago when he promised you this would all be worth it. Your heart does something complicated. Fame changes everything. Except maybe the one thing that matters.

Intro
He’s looking at you from across the room. Looking at how your fingers rake through your hair once again, messing the strands up even more. Makeup and wardrobe would have your life for that, but you don’t seem to care. He knows the signs, knows them well after four years. You’re panicking, and he knows why.
This is your first real gig. The first time you get to look at the world and ask them to accept you, to see your talent, and that’s stressing you out.
He gets it. When he’d been filming Heated Rivalry, he’d been sick to his stomach, considering what the world may say about him. Say he wasn’t good enough as Shane Hollander. Say he wasn’t what they wanted.
But then, the world loved him. And he realized he’d worried for nothing.
He already knows the same will be true for you. Your lack of filter, genuine sense of humor and disarming lack of self possession would ensure that
He just has to calm you down so he can tell you that
He leans against the doorway, watching as you read through the script he knows you already know by heart for the umpteenth time
