Ashley arched an eyebrow at Gina. ‘Did I?’
‘Yeah. You’ve really got… er… that thing.’
‘What thing?’
‘That thing that makes you pop. I’ve shot a lot of actors. Most of them don’t have it. You do. Just saying.’
Ashley was about to simply say thanks when it occurred to her that this particular compliment might be different from the last one. It seemed a bit more… flirty. And this time, she was pretty sure she had Gina’s motivation nailed. She was rather surprised. She’d have never thought Gina would look at her twice. She was very good-looking and in possession of an easy sexiness. Nothing about Ashley was easy.
But… maybe Ginadidthink this was the end, secretly. And maybe she wanted to feel good before things got bad.
Ashley wondered how she should feel about this. It didn’t take her long to figure it out. She was sort of, well… excited. Because if she was being honest with herself, she’d fancied Gina right from the start. Other emotions had clouded it, made it harder to acknowledge. But what was there to cloud it now? They were alone, in this cupboard, using up what might be the last little bit of life left to them.
So Ashley would use it wisely.
