Debora didn’t respond, withdrawing her hand.

It’s your first performance together. Plenty more scenes ahead. Work on that chemistry.”
“Got it,” Stella chirped, pleased.
Later that evening, as Stella walked in, she found Matthew staring blankly at his phone.
Peering over his shoulder, she saw Luka’s tweet, featuring behind-the scenes photos from today’s shoot.
She felt a bit awkward but also worried Matthew might be upset, so she clarified, “Luther gave permission for this online post. And since Luka’s got a big following, it’s good publicity for the movie.”
