The set was completely silent as Charlotte and Lily gazed at the rising sun, the golden light painting their faces while the morning breeze brushed against their skin through the rolled-down car window.
The moment felt serene, like a gentle stream that could wash away stress in an instant.
The director should have called "cut" five minutes ago, but he couldn't bring himself to break the peace. The way Charlotte and Lily sat there, lost in the moment, was too beautiful to interrupt. So, he let the camera roll, capturing the moment before him.

A wave of murmurs and quiet applause rippled through the set. Crew members rushed in immediately, draping warm jackets over Charlotte and Lily before they could start shivering.
"Charlotte, that was incredible!" Logan looked as if he was about to tear up after witnessing her performance. "Damn it! Every shot you take is perfect! You should have never left this industry!"
