The Highest Price to Pay
“One of the gofers for the photo shoot was standing in front of Ella, the sand colored boots she’d selected for the china-blue gown dangling from her fingertips.
Ella gritted her teeth. It had been like this for most of the day. They had Ella give her opinion on accessories, makeup and hair. And then the director sent the model, or the shoes, or the belt back to be changed.
Ella reached behind her to the bag full of shoes and rifled for a pair of sky-blue velvet ankle boots. She handed them back... to the gofer. “Here. I’m sure these will translate better in pictures.”
Grudgingly she had to admit they probably would. They would make a brilliant foil for the white sand beach. She was just touchy because of Blaise. More specifically, because the imprint of Blaise’s lips was branded on her skin, and her own cowardice, her own fear, was laughing quietly over its victory.
Fortunately Blaise had been absent for the entirety of the shoot so far. Ella moved from beneath the tents that had been set up on the shore to provide the crew with relief from the sun and went to stand near the photographer.MoreLess
