One of a tiny handful of chapter titles from her POV. I'm intrigued. Back later with thoughts.
EDIT: For an actress, she is terrible at faking anything around our boy. "Understanding"? More "pouting" than anything, and she absolutely has the right to pout. But she also needs to make absolutely clear to him that he's her priority -- not work, not anonymity, nothing else. Because he will absolutely prioritize everything about her unless and until she makes him understand that he's as important to her as she is to him.
Fortunately, she now has time to do just that.
So.
Much.
Time.
And so many ways to choose from to do it.
