Re: Wes & Kenzie, before the reading
It was her first table read, the excitement and nerves were so overwhelming that Kenzie had forgotten all about Wes. Of course, it went without question that she had noticed his name in the release. He was going to be on the same show that she had just been hired to. The fact that he would be at the table read today as well had completely slipped her mind.
Now he was the first person to greet her, causing those chocolate orbs to nearly pop out of her head. Why had they hired her? She understood Bennie, the woman was stunning. Kenzie felt very average with no talent as she felt Wes tug at one of her curls. One booted foot nervously kicked her heel against the ground. “I-I saw you at the gala,” she blurted out, those nerves that she had been able to smoke away before their first encounter were overwhelming in that moment, she wanted to kick herself.
She had worn one of her favorite outfits (sans tights), even though she felt incredibly under dressed, so that she at least felt comfortable for the table read. Her hope was that she would get points for arriving as herself, because she wasn’t certain she’d have been able to speak if she had arrived in that overly fancy outfit her mother had thought she ought to wear.
