What a distinction a number of years might make. Charlotte was virtually as nervous to search out out if Ada would win finest actress tonight as she could be if she was the one sitting in that theater, ready for her class to return up.

Not that way back, they’d been so removed from mates. Simply acquaintances who bordered on rivals, at all times going for a similar elements, at all times up for a similar awards.

However the time they spent filming in London collectively modified every thing, and Charlotte might by no means have imagined how a lot they’d have in widespread, how simply they might put all these years behind them and revel in their newfound friendship and their successes collectively.

“Sorry,” Lara stated, a smile on her lips. “Kerri was so shocked when she discovered you two had grow to be mates. I clearly, didn’t know you in any respect again then, nevertheless it’s simply humorous, pondering again… And now right here you’re.”

“Right here I’m what?”

“Nervous.”

Charlotte waved her off.

They’d spent the night collectively, beginning with the red-carpet protection as they’d eaten takeout whereas sitting on the ground, utilizing the espresso desk for a eating desk, and Charlotte couldn’t conceal her smile when Lara had checked out her with vast eyes, as if the likes of Charlotte didn’t eat meals whereas watching TV like the remainder of the world did.

“You might be,” Lara insisted. “And it’s lovely.”

Charlotte scoffed. “I’m… Anxious.”

She shouldn’t have been as shocked as she was that Lara was straightforward to get together with, that she appeared older than she was. Not in a foul manner. Simply… Settled. Mature.

She couldn’t put her finger on it, however she ought to have identified, as a result of Kerri knew what she was doing. She wouldn’t have employed Lara or stored working along with her for so long as she had with out purpose, by no means thoughts handing over her shoppers to her.

“And also you’re not?” Charlotte challenged her. “You probably did ship me all these texts asking what you need to put on and what must you carry and who else could be right here. You’ve been nervous all week.”

Lara had offered some sudden leisure once they’d texted a number of days in the past. They’d agreed on a time, and Charlotte had despatched Lara her deal with, however because the week went on, Lara couldn’t appear to go a day with out double-checking what sort of a night they had been going to have.

And in equity, Lara was most likely proper to imagine this is likely to be some form of watch get together, nevertheless it wasn’t in any respect.

Lara was sporting khaki shorts and a black scoop-neck prime, each of which highlighted the bronze glow of her pores and skin.

“Okay,” Lara stated with a smile. “That’s fully completely different. I used to be nervous about coming right here and making a idiot of myself. I didn’t assume this was what you meant. I believed you had been having an entire… Factor. Or feast. One thing, that I might flip as much as and commit some kind of fake pas.”

“Nicely, that is new to me, actually. I hardly ever miss attending these ceremonies, however I’ve to say, I’m having a good time.” Charlotte leaned over the cushion that was left between them, clinking their glasses collectively. “Cheers.”

And he or she actually was having a good time. Usually award present days had been impossibly lengthy and tiring however getting to observe all of it from the consolation of her sofa and have the ability to share a working commentary with Lara had been refreshing.

“Cheers,” Lara echoed, a bit of her golden-brown hair falling throughout her eyes as she leaned ahead to achieve Charlotte, the dip in her prime momentarily distracting Charlotte, however she’d managed to avert her eyes earlier than Lara might catch her.

Charlotte was buzzed, however she wouldn’t have thought she was so starved for consideration that she’d be testing Lara.

And whereas she’d stalled on the courting entrance, the final three dates having zero chemistry, Charlotte had thought she was content material with the place she was in life, that as a lot as she’d like to satisfy somebody, she wasn’t determined to.

Possibly she was.

Not that Lara Soler wasn’t a pretty girl. She was. And he or she was progressing along with her profession. Charlotte had managed to get a number of extra snippets of details about how Lara felt she was doing. Charlotte thought she’d requested casually sufficient because the awards present had began, how Lara felt about being an agent, about taking up Kerri’s shoppers.
