does well, we ll have need of some other recurring characters,
but this one s about establishing the main characters and their
friendship.
A few more questions about locations they d scouted and
budgets they didn t dare reveal peppered the interview. Then the
budgets they didn t dare reveal peppered the interview. Then the
guy sat back. Jeremy saw the glint in his eye and exchanged a
glance with Kit. Through experience and Kit s shared insight,
he d developed a second sense for when an interview was about
to get more difficult to navigate. Jeremy slid his hand to Kit s
thigh under the table. Kit covered his fingers and gave a squeeze.
There s been a lot of speculation you had a private partner
for the bakery who bowed out. Can you tell us who he was?
Jeremy focused on Kit, curious about how he d handle the
question. No emotion crossed his expression, though a shadow
flitted through his gaze.
Kit shook his head. Afraid not.
The journalist sat forward. There s been a lot of
speculation about Andy Shea. Didn t you sign the lease on this
place shortly after you won on his show?
Smile tight, Kit sat back. Jeremy cleared his throat, ready
to step in should Kit need him.
You should know that, in Hollywood especially, gossip
sells. If I say yes, it was Andy, and I help him come out& about
the mystery partnership, you ll print it. If I say no, it wasn t
Andy, and leave the silent partner in his safe cupboard, you ll
print it. Either way, the public speculates as the truth sits idle in
the corner. Kit took his time, his tone considering. At the end
of the day, though? It only matters whose name is over the door
and whose cupcakes are in the case. Everything else is just
rubbish on the cutting-room floor.
rubbish on the cutting-room floor.
A tantalizing piece of gossip hung just out of reach. Jeremy
saw the journalist sniff around the edges of the story, trying to
find the bone. Face falling, he probed one last time. So you re
keeping the outtakes to yourself?
The outtakes? Yes. Kit pushed a plate of samples across
the table. But you can have all the cupcakes you want. They re
the real story here.
Outtakes and cupcakes. Jeremy smiled. Somewhere in
there lurked a punch line. Later he d spend time laughing with
Kit and trying to find it. After all, they had all the time in the
world.
