Still half–asleep, I mumbled, “What kind of

She paused. “It’s a period drama. You’d be
playing the female character, but you have
scenes with the male lead. Work hard, Olivia.
This might be your last chance at a
comeback…”
I stared blankly at the scripts, her words

Sarah.
“I’ll do it!” I repeated, full of newfound
determination.

the top.
Even though we’d broken up, he was at the top

bet on the wrong horse.
