“I’m so sorry” Carmen apologized as she bent down to pick up her scattered disks.

“No I’m sorry” Sam looked down at the mess and bent down to help Carmen.

“I’m the first class klutz here” Carmen laughed as she gathered the last of the fallen material.

“Well thank goodness for those covers” Sam looked at the unharmed disks.

“Yeah they take a licking and keep on ticking” Carmen laughingly joked.

“Speaking of which” Sam looked over to where Shane and Molly were standing.  “What is it like to work with an ex?”

“Oh” Carmen looked over in the same direction and smiled “we’re cool now.  No bad blood between us.”

“That’s good to hear” Sam told her placing the lens cover back on the camera “I’ve never worked with an ex before and so far, aside from the director and the lead, you two are the only ones with that kind of history on the set.”

“As long as there’s no tension, exes can work together in peace and harmony.”  Carmen laughed.

“Or world war three could brew like the potential one between Jenny and Nikki.”  Sam never engaged in hearsay but there was something about Carmen that she could trust.

“What if I told you that I have two exes on the set?”  Carmen looked around to make sure no one could hear them.

“I’d be impressed” Sam’s eyes reflected what she said.

“Jenny is an ex as well” Carmen admitted.

“What?”  Sam couldn’t believe it “No way” she said while she regulated her reaction “you and the narcissist?”  Sam made sure Jenny or Adele weren’t listening in.

“Not a proud moment for me” Carmen shook her head “but I don’t regret any of it, she’s a decent person once you get to know her.”  She sounded like she was defending Jenny.

“I’m sure she is” Sam said “I just haven’t had the opportunity to do so.”  She almost sounded grateful.  “I would never have thought that it was possible for you two to hook up” she said as she looked at Carmen in a whole new light.

“Yeah well, I seem to be attracted to wrong kind of people.”  Carmen started to walk away.
