After the visit from Lara, she received an unexpected phone call from Sean a producer she had a long working history with. Although, it was last minute he presented her with an opportunity that could change the course of her career and see a long lasting dream fulfilled. There was only one catch she had to pack and hop on a plane immediately. It came as no surprise when she finally landed she had six missed calls and 10 text messages from Bette. She listened to and read them all before calling her. When they finally spoke Tina did her best to reassure her, although Bette understood she had left on bad terms and it only added fuel to her already fragile insecurities. Since, then they had only text a few times with neither admitting the distance gave them much needed space. Hoping to help clear her head she was thankful when she received a call from Sean hoping to link up for lunch.

The waiter: Can I get you anything else?

Sean: I’m good, Tina?

Tina: I’ll take another water with lemon.

The waiter: Sure, not a problem coming right up your food should be out shortly. [she says before returning to the kitchen]

Tina: [looking down at the papers in front of her] This looks too good to be true.

Sean: [taking a sip of his Coke] I know, but trust me it is.

Tina: Atlanta, the new Hollywood Mecca.

Sean: [smiling] That it is.

Tina: I don’t know what to say.

Sean: The production studio is being built as we speak, Georgia provides an abundance of back drops, a generous tax incentive, and can accommodate large crews and infrastructure. This is the place to be and right now business is booming this is an opportunity of a life time.

Tina: [hesitantly nods her head]

Sean: Listen, I know I haven’t won you over completely but you and me go way back. We’ve worked for some really great bosses and some real shitty ones. We’ve had some great experiences and some really bad ones but through it all, if I could go back and change anything I wouldn’t if that meant I could have the opportunity to work with you again.

Tina: [bashfully] Sean.
