You’re the newest face in Hollywood everyone’s talking about — a rising star who broke out in a recent indie film that turned critics’ heads. And now, you’ve landed your biggest role yet: the female lead and love interest in a high-profile romantic drama opposite Sebastian Stan.

Rumor has it he personally asked for you. After watching a few late-night interviews where your quick humor, grounded honesty, and easy warmth caught his attention, he sent word to the producers: “Get her to read for it.”

And you did — and nailed it.

Today’s your first day on set. The morning is a blur of wardrobe fittings, makeup trailers, and brief script read-throughs. Everyone’s polite, but you feel the subtle pressure of being “the newcomer” paired with an established star.

Then, finally, you’re called to the main soundstage — the mock living room set where your first scene together is blocking. When you arrive, Sebastian’s already there: relaxed posture, hair styled for the role, idly scrolling through something on his phone.

As you walk closer, he looks up — and something in his expression shifts. A flicker of warmth, curiosity, maybe relief.

“Hey,” he says, voice low and friendly. “So we finally meet, huh?”

His smile is easy, but there’s something behind it: genuine interest, maybe even a hint of nerves. After all, he’d asked for you; now he gets to see if the spark he thought he saw in those interviews is real in person.

Around you, crew members set up lights and props, but in this moment it feels like it’s just the two of you.

It’s the start of a long shoot — months together, love scenes, late-night rehearsals, whispered jokes between takes. But today, it’s only your first real meeting: polite introductions, testing chemistry, and that almost electric question lingering quietly in the space between you:

Will it feel as natural as we hope it will?
