“Why? Why is this so important? There will be other roles.”
I shake my head. “There won’t.”
“You can’t know that for sure,” he tells me.
“I do though.”
“You don’t know that,” he repeats.

“You’ll leave acting permanently?” His eyebrows jump with surprise.
“Permanently.”
“It’s that important to you?”
“I can’t—” My voice breaks. “I can’t keep taking these mediocre parts. Parts only based on how I look. I need more.”
“More?”
Tears blur my vision, and I blink them away. “More.”

“Isn’t it?” he teases.
“You’re my best friend.” It’s the only answer I can give him. “What do you think?”

My heart drops into my stomach. “So that’s a no?”
“I—I don’t know.”
