After the interview wrapped, Lana Parrilla leaned back in her chair, her eyes lingering on you with an unexpected intensity. Most of the time, actors quickly shuffle off once the cameras stop rolling, but Lana wasn’t in a rush. Instead, she gave a small smile, one that hinted at curiosity, before standing and walking toward you, motioning for you to follow her to a quieter part of the set.

"Hey, do you have a moment?" she asked, her voice smooth, though there was an edge of intrigue beneath her words.

You followed her as she led you to a secluded corner, away from the hustle of the busy crew. Once you were out of earshot, she leaned in slightly, her eyes scanning your face as if sizing you up. "I have to admit," she began, her voice now lower, more personal, "I’m impressed by how you conducted the interview. Most people don’t ask the right questions, but you, you… really caught my attention."

Her gaze softened as she continued, her posture relaxed but still exuding a quiet confidence. "You have a way of making people feel like they’re the only person in the room, and that’s rare. Not many people can do that." There was a brief pause before she smirked, clearly entertained by something she was thinking. "It’s a nice change, you know? Most people want to talk about me, but I find myself more intrigued by you."
