Chapter 2
To lift our spirits, Kiki put on a reality show.
We munched on popcorn, making snarky
comments.
“He’s so ugly, a classic comedic actor.”
“That scene is so fake, it’s clearly scripted.”
But our laughter died quickly.

Ethan, the mega-celebrity, appeared on

Kiki’s face fell. She muttered about bad
omens and wanted to change the channel.
But Ethan’s voice filled the room. The show
reached its sentimental moment.
Ethan looked directly into the camera, his
eyes filled with longing.
