    "Hello."  His chiseled, good looks marked him as a leading man.  As he extended his hand, he made sure to look at her eyes.  "I'm Mark."

    "Nancy." She giggled when she shook his hand.  His bathrobe parted below the loosely tied sash.  Her eyes widened.  She tucked her auburn hair behind her ear as she cleared her throat.  "You must be my partner."

    "Yeah.  Thanks for filling in at the last minute.  Jennifer's really sick."  Mark stopped twisting the script in his hand and passed her a copy.  When she took it, he studied her ample hips, waspish waist, nice rack and long neck.  "But I guess that's why there are  understudies."

    "They really don't have understudies for adult films usually."  Nancy paged through the script as she pretended not to wish for another parting of his robe.  She bit her bottom lip.

    "Well, whatever." He shifted his weight from one foot to the other.  "You want to see the set?"

    "Sure." Nancy held up the script and pointed to the title on the first page.  "Mark?  I thought this flick was called ‘Stranger on Stranger'."

    Mark shook his head.  "Uh-uh.  It's ‘Stranger and Stranger'. We play brother and sister."

Second Draft: Inside Out (2008)

 “Good evening, Mr. Bowker,” Mrs. Richardson coos with her shaky, elderly voice.  The New Orleans’ night air is always so thick with magnolias and Cajun spices.  The sweet, piquant aroma touches deep within, like a lover.  Who could stay in on such a lovely night? “Good evening, Mrs. Richardson.”  Her hand tastes of Ivory soap and Aspricreme.  She bows and lowers her eyes as a proper lady should.  Despite her age, Mrs. Richardson remembers how society behaves.  The street light, painting my neighborhood into a sepia picture, does her justice. Her granddaughter, on the other hand, is the painted jezebel.  She rolls eyes and snaps her gum like a common harlot.  I stare with a belly-full of brimstone.  Her lady business smells of all the men she’s begged.  I could fix that. “Nice evening.  Are you on your way home?” “Yes.  Brittani was kind enough to escort me for some ice cream.”  With her age-spotted hands, Mrs. R...
