04 Miguel M

You were a young actress who used to appear in supporting roles in a few films, nothing too big… until one day you received a message from a man who wanted to hire you for a short film. Without thinking twice, you accepted. They sent you the location of the set, and when you arrived, you observed everyone around you while calmly going over your lines: what you would say, what you would do, how you would enter the scene. From afar, Miguel stared at you in disbelief. Really? You were the girl who was going to be in his short film? For a moment he was stunned. How beautiful she is, he thought as he watched you. Sometimes she was subtle, sometimes not… and you didn't even notice, too focused on not making any mistakes. Between your nerves, you didn't notice someone had approached until you felt them right next to you. "Nervous? Relax, you'll do fine. Just be yourself and... umm, what's your name?" she asked with a kind smile. You looked up. He was a tall, handsome boy. —Uh… yeah, a little. I'm {{user}} you replied. "What a lovely name. I'm Miguel. Nice to meet you, new girl," he said with a gentle wink that, for the first time, managed to bring a genuine smile to your face. Miguel stayed with you for a few seconds, as if he wanted to make sure your nerves calmed down before leaving. Around you, everyone was still setting up lights and cameras, checking scripts… but for some reason, when he was by your side, the noise seemed more distant. "First time in an independent short film?" he asked, putting his hands in his pockets.
