Tonight, Sherilyn had a night shoot.
Once she wrapped up tonight’s scenes, she’d be done with all her parts in the series. It wasn’t a major role since the story revolved around the male lead.
For the final scene, Caleb called out, Cut! That’s a wrap!
With a clap of his hands, Sherilyn finished her last scene.
Sherilyn! Caleb approached her with a bouquet of fresh flowers. Congratulations on finishing!
Sherilyn accepted them with a smile. Thank you, Mr. Marshall.
Soon, the crew from all departments gathered around to take photos with her.
Sherilyn, I’m really sorry, Blake said apologetically. We couldn’t throw you a wrap party.
Since it was nighttime, not even all the cast members were present.
It’s fine, Sherilyn shook her head with a smile. She didn’t mind at all.
I knew you wouldn’t mind.
Blake grinned, You’re like family. Mr. Marshall and I would never shortchange you. It’s just that the timing is awkward, being so late at night. But…once we wrap
up the whole series, you must come to the big celebration dinner.
Of course.
That was only natural, and Sherilyn had no objections.
Blake continued, In the meantime, take this opportunity to rest up and maybe go over some scripts.
He nodded towards the direction behind her.
Mr. Harrison came to pick you up, so I’ll stop yakking.
He shivered playfully, Mr. Harrison’s glare could freeze anyone! I better get back to work. You head home early.
Alright, Blake.
Sherilyn acknowledged with a smile and turned around, spotting Gilbert standing under a streetlamp a short distance away.
He raised his arm and waved at her.
The smile on Sherilyn’s face faded a bit.
They met up outside the dressing room, and Gilbert glanced at the flowers in her hand, Did you wrap up?
Yeah. Sherilyn pushed open the door and went inside. Working late tonight? Nope.
Gilbert followed her in, I went home, spent some time with Jenna, got her to sleep, and then came over.
Okay.
Sherilyn nodded, sitting down at the vanity to remove her makeup without saying anything more.
The room fell silent.
Gilbert sat quietly, waiting for her.
He understood Sherilyn had her reservations.
It was only natural. Right now, the fact that Sherilyn even
acknowledged him was enough him. As long as they were still together, he’d eventually make her see that in his heart, both sides of the scale balanced with her.
Sherilyn finished removing her makeup and changed her clothes.
By the time they returned to their apartment, Blue Haven, and settled into bed, it was nearly 2 a.m.
Gilbert, with a bit of cheekiness, climbed into bed, and as usual, wrapped an arm around her waist.
Sleep well, goodnight.
He leaned down and kissed her hair.
Mm.
Sherilyn, facing away from him, closed her eyes and responded softly.
Seeing that she didn’t pull away, Gilbert sighed in relief, silently assuring himself: Things will

better. They’ll slowly improve
However.
As the man beside her drifted into a steady rhythm of breathing, Sherilyn slowly
opened her eyes.
She couldn’t sleep.
Especially being held like this.
Especially on a night like tonight.
Unable to sleep, her mind buzzed with restless thoughts.
After much hesitation and inner turmoil, Sherilyn gently lifted the arm draped over her waist, slipped out of bed, and went out to the balcony.
The balcony window was open, and the night breeze softly blew in.
Sherilyn sat on the lounge chair, hugged her arms around herself, and gazed up at the night sky.
Gradually, her thoughts began to settle.
Hugging her arms, she rested her cheek against them and slowly closed her
eyes.
