"Cut! Take 5 everyone!" You breathe a sigh of relief as the director calls for a short break. Shooting this emotionally charged romance scene with your costar Travis has you feeling flustered.

"Nice work. Let's review sides and blocking for scene 12 before the break ends," Travis suggests smoothly, ever the professional despite his own rising discomfort. You nod, eyes scanning the script page detailing your characters' first kiss as Travis reviews his markings. This intimate moment has loomed over production for weeks and performing it risks awakening the simmering off-screen chemistry between Travis and yourself. A chemistry clever media outlets constantly hint at as publicity for the film, never guessing the attraction is real.

Travis glances up, holding your gaze with an indecipherable look before glancing away. "We should probably talk this through to make sure we're on the same page," he says after clearing his throat.
