Emily, watching from her cool spot on the sidelines, felt a surge of satisfaction seeing Sharon get slapped. Kimberly was Sophia's friend, after all, so that slap was surely meant to avenge her. The second take started directly with the slap.

Sharon's assistant swooped in, armed with an assortment of snacks and drinks for the crew.

The gesture was too good to pass up. Even William, now mollified, agreed to a one-hour break. Conveniently, the crew's lunch had just arrived, making it a perfect time for everyone to eat.
