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

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.
