Chapter 27

“I can drive myself, you know,” I said as I adjusted the air conditioning in the front seat. I suppressed a yawn as Damon drove through the seemingly endless desert just outside the city.

“My car’s nicer,” Damon smirked, without taking his eyes off the road.

I had to give him that. His car was much nicer than mine.

I leaned back in the leather seats, enjoying the automatic heated seats on a crisp morning. I didn’t know how my grandmother did it, but just the morning after she’d warned us about the cold, the temperature had begun to drop.

“Plus, I need to check on Cassidy’s improvements,” Damon said firmly. “Check that everything is alright.”

“It was alright before,” I crossed my arms, still not happy he’d spent so much money to upgrade the set. I was sure it was amazing, but I felt like I owed him more and more. Though, I was happy with what Cassidy had done with the set.

“It would’ve collapsed on top of the actors,” Damon said and glanced at me, pointedly. “Then you’d be paying for lawyers.”

“Point taken,” I said with a sigh.

I caught my first glimpse of the improved set as we slowly drove through,

and I had to say I was impressed. It looked amazing.

The town was new and vibrant, the buildings looking more structurally sound, but also realistic. Even the paint had the tiniest details down-the chips and faded color looked exactly like an old western town should be.

With all the set hands and assistants running back and forth, it was easy to believe we had stepped into the 1800s-old west.

“Oh, it’s fantastic!” I exclaimed happily as we pulled to a halt in front of the director’s tent.

“He did a better job than I thought,” Damon muttered as we both got out of the car.
