‘Alright.’ She contorted her body to lean back, and he realised they were sat so close to one another their bare knees were brushing together. ‘You’re too serious.’

‘I thought this was to help my work?’

‘You’ve got to look approachable. So people want to follow you.’

‘Will you follow me?’

‘Sure.’

Caleb smiled without thinking, and she snapped a photo. ‘Perfect.’

‘Am I?’ He’d meant it as a tease, but a knot had formed in his throat.

She nodded. ‘I think so.’

‘Get a room,’ grumbled Emma, and they both blushed.

‘So, here’s your feed, with a link to your website.’ She began to explain all the buttons and icons, as well as how he would post photos and videos. ‘That sounds beyond me. I’ll stick to normal photos. I struggle with emails, let alone apps,’ replied Caleb with a wrinkle in his brow.

‘Give me your website logins and I’ll get someone to sort your website out for you,’ offered Emma.

Lucas clicked his fingers loudly. ‘Yes! The guy who does our production company stuff. What’s his name?’

‘Greg. I’m on it,’ replied Emma.

‘Don’t update it too much. I’m still not sure about the stunt co-ordinator thing.’ He tried to shrug it off with a playful grin. ‘I’m not really a responsibility sort of guy.’

‘Sure thing,’ said Emma, still tapping away. He noticed Hannah frowning at him, but he ignored her. At the end of the day, his business was exactly that – his business.

Bianca clapped her hands together. ‘This is so exciting! Follow me!’

‘I’ll show him how to follow all of us,’ Hannah replied, but he was glad when he noticed she’d added herself before the others. She handed him back the phone and he looked at the little icons lighting up. Clicking on them, he saw Hannah’s image in a tiny circle and immediately clicked on it. ‘Yes, like that. Now, we’re following each other.’

‘Can you send me today’s picture?’

A moment later he’d uploaded the group photo to his grid.

‘Tag me in it!’ said Lucas cheerfully. ‘All of you can.’

A few minutes later, the photo had gained him nearly fifty followers and that number was still rising at an astonishing speed.

‘Crazy!’ he said, with a disbelieving shake of his head, more than a little nervous of this new path that lay ahead. Perhaps things were moving too fast, even for him?

Chapter Twenty-Two

‘What’s the number now?’ Caleb asked conversationally, after they’d dropped Zach back home. They’d not kissed or touched each other since their kiss in the ocean. Now that she’d made her decision to jump in the deep end – no pun intended – she was anxious to get going. Ever since they’d waved goodbye to Zach and finally found themselves alone, she’d wondered how the ‘benefits’ part of their new agreement would work.

God, was she looking forward to finding out!

Hannah pulled her phone out of her bag. ‘I’ll check on mine. Wow! Over ten thousand – that’s amazing!’

‘Bonkers, some might say!’ laughed Caleb. He seemed more amused by his immediate popularity on social media than impressed.

Emma had taken some footage of Caleb helping Hannah to stand on her board, and after Hannah had edited and posted the video, Caleb’s account had blown up even more.

‘The comments are really lovely, too. From people and actors who have worked with you, saying how great you are.’

‘Really? Like who?’
