Lorenzo pinched the bridge of his nose. "You've got five minutes to get to set before I start charging you for every wasted second of my life."

Elara held up her hands in mock surrender. "We're coming, we're coming. No need for theatrics, Lorenzo. That's our job."

Amara snorted, grabbing her coat. "See, this is why I'm the lead. Natural talent for drama."

"Drama is not what you're bringing to the table, Amara," Lorenzo shot back. "It's chaos, and not the fun kind. Now move."
