At that moment, Zoe joined the conversation.

"Thank you for your hard work. Since there's no scene for me today, I'll take my leave."

Her smile exuded purity, and she maintained a polite demeanor.

Rosalynn inquired, "Zoe, are you going back to school?"

"Yes," Zoe replied promptly.

"How did you get here?" Rosalynn asked.

“By bus."

Hastily stopping Kyson, who was about to leave, Rosalynn made a request.

“Kyson, could you please give Zoe a ride?"

Kyson stopped in his tracks and glanced at Zoe.

Zoe gave Rosalynn a polite smile and said, "Don't worry, Ms. Fuller.

I appreciate your suggestion. But, I can just take the bus back."

Rosalynn shook her head, smiled, and said. "Of course you can, but Kyson is going back to school and he just happens to be going your way. Let him take you back. Kyson, let her go with you, okay?"

"Okay,"

Kyson replied unenthusiastically.

Rosalynn had to suppress the urge to laugh. She cleared her throat and said, “According to the script, the characters you guys are playing are lovers. Both of you ought to spend more time together so as to work on how to make that relationship feel as alive as possible or else you might find yourselves too embarrassed to carry out your roles."

Kyson raised an eyebrow and scratched his neck.

He had never heard of the need for fellow actors to develop a relationship in private for them to be able to carry out their jobs.

It sounded absurd!

“Of course, Ms. Fuller. Now that I think of it, you're right," Zoe said softly.
