Saturday

She never gave it away

She never let herself be jumped for the simple act of jumping.
Like being jumped was fun, maybe good for her nerves, say.
She always had other reasons...Like the promise of lunch in the Studio canteen, a visit to a sound stage, a date with an up-and-coming actor.
A date with somebody who could be famous soon.
Lunch had to be with somebody who knew somebody else—who knew Mr Big Producer. Maybe knew Mr Very Big Producer's dog walker's personal trainer's best friend.
She never did it simply because she wanted to do it.
