Yves pulled up Freya's picture for him. "There she is. Freya. See? I wasn't kidding. She's gorgeous, right? She's playing that autistic teenage girl you created. The studio recommended her. She's got the right look, the right vibe for the part. She read your script, said

you. But I really gotta get home and whip up some lunch for my
wife!"
Yves tried to joke. "So, what, if I ever want to actually see you, I gotta book you for breakfast now?"
The answer he got was that Alistair's mornings were also strictly
wife-and-kid time....
Yves was utterly defeated.
It finally clicked. For Alistair, screenwriting was just a side hustle. His real job, his
main gig, was taking care of his family.
