Colton waved his hand dismissively and said to Ryan, âWhat do you know? Iâm right here in front of the monitor, seeing everything clearly, and trust me, nowâs not the time for our leading lady to shed tears.
Sheâs a tough cookie, that one. Didnât even let a single tear fall when he left her out of the blue. She just stood there, all defiant. When the scene of his actual departure comes, thatâs when sheâll let it all out. Thatâs gonna be true to her character.â
And with that, Ivy was denied her right to cry on cue. She had no choice but to swallow her tears.
It took three takes to wrap up that scene. When it was finally over, Ryan came over to offer some comfort.
âHey Ivy, you holding up alright? You seemed a bit off today.â
All around them, cameras clicked, capturing their interaction. Ivy knew that Colton was drumming up publicity for the film, shooting some behind-the-scenes footage to generate buzz.
She mustered a weak smile, âIâm fine, really. Sorry you had to go through three takes because of me.â
Ryan patted her on the shoulder like a true bro, âHey, no sweat! Youâre doing great. We usually donât nail it in one take like you do. If anything, Iâm the one who should be embarrassed.â
Ivy chuckled, amused by Ryanâs exaggerated display.
Unnoticed by Ivy, someone had already posted the footage of the two interacting online.
The video clearly showed Ryan extending a hand to Ivy.
With a faint smile on her face, she seemed to be in good spirits, and it appeared that she and Ryan got along quite well.
Ivy scrolled through the comments on her phone, finding the reactions rather amusing.
âOMG! Even their faces are a match made in heaven!â read one comment, which led the pack in likes.
âI donât get what Coltonâs thinking. With such a hot couple, why not let them have some time on a talk show or a reality series? Iâm literally crying with anticipation!â
âCan anyone relate? Iâve been replaying that teaser over and over again⦠I just canât get enough.â
Many of the comments echoed the sentiment.
âI feel you, âcause Iâve been watching it just as much. Why wonât Colton let the CP shine? Is he afraid theyâll be too sweet and give us all cavities?â
At first, Ivy didnât quite understand what the fans were shipping. She knew that some fans response.
would ship her with others, but she hadnât anticipated such an intense After the last teaser dropped, more and more people started shipping her and Ryan.
Ivy and Ryan were both attractive and newcomers to the cast, displaying a remarkable chemistry on screen.
This was quite a feat.
But neither of them had expected their ship to sail so strongly, outpacing even the solo stans who typically only support one person or character.
Ivy was a bit worried that the overwhelming number of ship fans might skew the movieâs narrative in unintended ways.
The director, on the other hand, was thrilled. To him, fans were potential box office gold, no matter what side they were on.
Feeling somewhat uneasy, Ivy thought about finding an opportunity to discuss with Ryan a way to clarify their relationship online, to tell the fans that they were just friends and that there was nothing ambiguous between them.
Unfortunately, the chance never came. The shoot schedule was just too tight.
