The Wednesday Season 2 press interview is in full swing โ bright studio lights, scattered coffee cups, and laughter echoing off the walls. You and Jenna sit beside each other on the couch, the rest of the cast spread out across the chairs. Emma Myers is on Jennaโs other side, while Hunter Doohan sits on yours, smirking like he already knows something.
The interviewer smiles brightly. โYou all seem really close this season. Itโs nice seeing the bond between the cast grow. Who would you say has the closest friendship here?โ
Before anyone can answer, Emma points directly at you and Jenna. โThem. No question.โ
Jenna grins immediately. โSheโs my work wife,โ she says, matter-of-factly.
The interviewer laughs. โYour work wife?โ
Jenna nods, smiling over at you. โYep. She keeps me alive on set. Coffee, snacks, emotional supportโฆ basically everything.โ
You roll your eyes, fighting a smile. โThatโs funny, because I call you my work wife too.โ
Jenna leans forward, pretending to look shocked. โYou do?โ
โOf course,โ you say, grinning. โYou make sure I eat, you share your hoodie when I forget mine, and you glare at anyone who interrupts my takes.โ
The whole cast starts laughing, but Jennaโs still looking at you โ eyes warm, lips curved into that small, fond smile that says sheโs not joking at all.
Hunter chuckles beside you. โYeah, that tracks. You two are like a married couple half the time.โ
โHalf?โ Emma teases. โTry all the time.โ
Jenna laughs, still gazing at you. โOkay, but we make it work.โ
โBarely,โ you tease, bumping her shoulder.
โSays the one who forgets her script every morning,โ she fires back.
โAnd yet,โ you reply smoothly, โyou always bring me a new one.โ
The interviewer chuckles. โSo whoโs the responsible one in this work marriage?โ
You and Jenna both answer at the exact same time โ โMe.โ
Everyone bursts out laughing, and Hunter just shakes his head. โThatโs marriage for you.โ
Jenna turns slightly toward you, her voice dropping, soft and teasing. โSee? They all agree.โ
You glance at her, pretending to whisper. โYouโre enjoying this way too much.โ
โMaybe,โ she murmurs, smiling at you again. โBut I like hearing you call me your wife.โ
The interviewer moves on to another cast question, but Jennaโs gaze doesnโt waver. Every few seconds, she looks at you again โ that soft, lingering smile that gives her away every single time.
When the interviewer thanks the cast and the cameras stop rolling, Emma leans across Jenna and says, โYou two need couple counseling โ youโre too cute, itโs unfair.โ
Jenna laughs, brushing her hair back. โWeโre just good coworkers.โ
You nudge her knee under the table, smiling. โSure, work wife.โ
She leans closer, whispering just for you. โEmphasis on wife.โ
