Freen didn't sleep that night.
She couldn't.
Because the only thing running through her mind—on an endless, painful loop—was Becky.
Becky against the wall.
Becky's breath mixing with hers.
Becky whispering, Don't you dare.
Becky wanting her.
And then—
The moment ruined.
Freen had run. Again.
Because that's what she did, wasn't it?
Every time things got too real, she pulled away.
But this time—
This time, it felt different.
This time, it felt like she wasn't just running from her feelings.
She was running from something inevitable.
Something terrifying.
Something that had already consumed her whole.
--------------------------------------------------
Becky woke up angry.
Not the kind of anger that burned out quickly, but the kind that simmered.
The kind that lingered.
Because she had spent weeks—months—waiting for Freen to admit it.
And now that she finally had, she had still chosen to walk away.
Becky was done waiting.
Freen could run all she wanted.
But Becky?
Becky was going to chase.
--------------------------------------------------
The next day, Becky and Freen had a scene together.
Of course they did.
And Becky?
She was ready.
She didn't let Freen ignore her.
She didn't let Freen pretend.
She made sure their hands brushed.
She held Freen's gaze longer than necessary.
She let the weight of last night sit between them.
And when it was time for their most intense scene yet—a moment where their characters had to look at each other like the world was ending—
Becky let all of her real feelings show.
She looked at Freen like she wasn't acting.
And Freen?
For the first time, Becky saw panic in her eyes.
Because she knew.
She knew Becky wasn't backing down this time.
--------------------------------------------------
Lena, of course, noticed everything.
"You look like someone who just got their heart broken," she teased Becky between takes.
Becky rolled her eyes. "I didn't."
"Not yet," Lena smirked. "But you will if you keep waiting for her to stop running."
