Bookmarker's Notes
“You’ve made me very unhappy tonight, Lydia. And that’s really not a good thing to do, because if I’m unhappy, it means that you’ll end up feeling unhappy. Don’t you want me to be happy, Lydia? Don’t you want us to be connected?”
Lydia wanted to explain that the broken glass and the incident with the salad were not her fault, but she found herself unable to speak. She opened her mouth, but no words came out. Forrester leaned forward and pressed his mouth against hers.
And Lydia felt the breath being sucked out of her. She tried to fight it, but Forrester was gripping her tightly. His too-long tongue was almost suffocating her, causing her to retch.
Then, suddenly, his mouth was ripped away from hers as an invisible force pulled him backwards. Lydia watched as Forrester’s head jerked backward as though something or someone had punched him. He glanced up at Lydia, his eyes wide, and brought a hand up to his nostril, where a trickle of blood had formed.
“What the…”
A nearby streetlamp flickered.
Forrester let out a growl of frustration.
“We start filming next week,” he said, trying to keep his voice steady. “Just remember what I said, Lydia. We’re a team. We need to be happy. We need to be connected. Don’t disappoint me again.”
