The lake house was a postcard: pine trees, a crackling fireplace, and only one bedroom. The second “bedroom” was a closet full of dusty board games.
The war was on. Every script meeting became a battlefield. She wanted a lavish ballroom scene; he wanted a fight in a dirty kitchen. She wanted a grand gesture involving a hot air balloon; he wanted a quiet apology whispered at 3 a.m. The crew started taking bets. The intern started a bingo card.
