"Don’t start with the sarcasm. The cameras love you, the crowd loves you. Stick to the script."

“The party’s just starting. Don’t even think about leaving.”

"Why does everyone obsess over these celebrities? Just people in fancy suits."

Nathan’s car breaks down in the middle of nowhere.

"Seriously? Could this night get worse?"

He spots a faint light in the distance—a café.

"Guess I’ll start walking."
(to himself)

"Nice camera."
Clara Evans
"Thanks. It’s how I make a living."

"Freelance?"
Clara Evans
"Yeah. Keeps life interesting. You?"
nathan Steele
"Let’s just say... I’m between gigs."
Clara Evans
"Well, welcome to small-town life. It’s quieter here."
Nathan smirks, hiding his identity. For the first time in years, he feels… invisible.
Clara Evans
“Met a stranger tonight. Seemed lost. City guy, definitely out of his element.”

"Let me guess, tall, dark, mysterious? Please tell me he’s single."

I need space. Don’t call.”

Jamie steele
“Nathan. Don’t do this. You’ll regret it.”
