POV: Ensemble
Group Chat: "TWD Family"
Norman:
🚨ATTENTION: I just walked into Steven's trailer and almost witnessed the sequel to the garage scene in Season 3.
Trailer doors are now a safety hazard. I'm filing a motion.
Alanna:
WAIT WHAT
💀💀💀💀💀
Christian:
You're lying
Please be lying
Please
Norman:
I heard things.
Saw movement.
There was definitely some panting. Possibly praying?
Danai:
OMFG
I knew it.
I KNEW IT.
Josh McD:
Which one of you said it would be quiet now that she's back on set?
Because I want a refund.
Sonequa:
Steven.
You made a whole speech about being "just friends."
Andy:
He did.
I was there.
He was holding a coffee like he was a priest.
Steven (typing...)
Steven is typing...
Steven is typing...
Steven stopped typing.
Lauren (seen 12:43 PM)
Lauren is ignoring all of you like a queen.
Melissa:
Can someone check on her? She might've combusted.
Ross:
So... no closed trailer doors anymore?
Norman:
Only if you want to be responsible for emotional trauma.

On Set – Present Day
Lauren stepped out of the makeup trailer and instantly regretted it.
Alanna and Christian were waiting. Like wolves.
"Oh hey there, Maggie Greene," Alanna said, arms crossed. "Feeling recovered?"
Lauren groaned. "Don't."
Christian stepped into her path. "You know, I really didn't believe in soulmates until I read Norman's live breakdown this morning."
"Stop."
"'Hands between her thighs—over jeans'?! REALLY?" Alanna quoted, almost tripping over her own laugh.
Lauren buried her face in her hands. "I hate all of you."
"That's fair," Christian said. "But we love you. Especially now that you're giving us an actual romantic subplot during filming downtime."
"I'm never walking into a closed trailer again," Lauren muttered.
"Yeah," Alanna said. "You might find ghosts. Or... Steven's tongue."
Lauren pushed past them, cheeks on fire, only to find Danai casually holding a coffee out to her like it was a peace offering.
"Morning, newlyweds," Danai greeted.
"We're not—!"
"Don't waste your breath."

Back in the group chat
Andy:
I'm bringing bells. So every time one of you kisses the other, we know.
Josh McD:
Can we rename this chat "Steven & Lauren's Trailer of Sin"?
Emily:
I warned you both.
I'm not picking up ANY of the emotional wreckage when this implodes.
(But I am bringing popcorn.)
Sonequa:
I'll bring sage.
To cleanse the trailer.
Steven:
Everyone relax.
We're still just friends.
