An Excerpt from Love Through a Lens by Lucy Felthouse
Celine gritted her teeth and hung tightly onto the straps of her
backpack as she forced one foot in front of the other up the steep incline. Her
heart felt like it was going to explode from her chest, and her lungs screamed
with the effort of providing her oxygen supply. Really, she needed to stop, to
catch her breath, regain some equilibrium. But Edward was already way ahead of
her, striding powerfully along as though their chosen path were perfectly flat.
He had a huge backpack of his own, too, which didn’t seem to be slowing him
down a jot.
But then, this was the difference between the two of them—or one
of the differences, anyway. Edward Robson, mid-list British actor, was also a
very keen outdoorsman, and probably did these kinds of walks all the time—with
or without a camera being pointed at him.
Celine Paterson, however, was a different story altogether.
Newly graduated from university, she’d struggled to find filming work in her
preferred field—fashion—and so she’d had to cast her net wider. Incredibly
wide, as it happened.
With hindsight, it was easy to see why she’d gotten the job with
Edward—nobody else had wanted it. Not a damn soul. Traipsing around the Peak
District wasn’t so bad, but add in heavy camera equipment, camping gear, food,
clothing, maps, plans, GPS unit, satellite phone and makeup—for Edward, not for
her—and a nice walk suddenly became a grueling trek. The money was poor, too,
especially considering she was the only member of Edward’s crew. Could a single
person even be called a crew? Or was she just a dogsbody?
She’d had no choice. It was this job or nothing. Crap money or
no money. And, most importantly, this credit on her resumé or no credit at all.
She knew she had to start racking the credits and references up soon, if she
wanted to get ahead in the highly competitive field.
So here she was, dragging herself up a heart attack inducing
hill in the wake of an actor-cum-presenter. At least the project was
interesting; they were checking out sites of myths, legends and ghost stories,
that kind of thing. Edward was nice, too—kind, polite and pretty funny. Even
better, it wasn’t raining. Overall, things could be a damn sight worse. She
could be working with animals or children—or even both. And she’d heard many
times over that they were the absolute worst.
She was still convincing herself that things weren’t that bad
after all, when she glanced up and came to an abrupt halt as she realized there
was a crotch practically in her face. Snapping her head up so fast it made her
neck hurt, she made eye contact with Edward, who was standing a couple of paces
farther up the slope, hence the awkward face-to-crotch angle. Her already hot
face blazed with embarrassment. For once, she hoped the fact she was overheated
would hide her mortification. The slight breeze that blew was doing nothing to
lower her temperature.
“Are you all right?” he asked, his blue-green eyes soft with
concern. “I’m so sorry, you must think me incredibly rude. I honestly thought
you were right behind me—you being a young thing and all that. It was only when
you didn’t reply to me or answer any of my questions that I realized I’d
inadvertently left you behind.”
“I’m all right,” Celine replied, her chest heaving as she fought
to regulate her breathing and slow down her heart rate while she had the
chance. “Just not used to this sort of thing. A walk for me is a stroll by a
riverbank, or hitting the shops. I’m sure my fitness level will improve as we
continue with the project. Go ahead, if you like. I’ll catch up with you…
eventually.”
Edward shook his head. “No, let’s have a rest. I could do with a
drink and a snack.” Turning, he looked around, then pointed. “Let’s head there.
It looks as though there’s a patch of flattish ground big enough for us both to
sit down.”
“Okay.” She followed him again, but this time only for a few
seconds. Edward helped her remove her rucksack—which was almost as big as she
was—and then immediately opened it and began removing things. It was only when
she saw he’d long since taken out the drinks and snacks that she queried what
he was doing.
“I’m taking some of the heavier items out of your bag. If I
re-jig things, we’ll still fit everything in, but you’ll have a lighter load.
Would you mind making some tea for us both while I do this?” He indicated the
miniature camping stove, metal cups and other tea-making paraphernalia.
“No, of course not,” she said. “But there’s no need for you to
do that. I’m perfectly okay with carrying my share of the weight.”
“I know you are. But I’m not. You’ve enough to put up with on
this crazy project. I don’t want you getting injured or ill on me—I need you.
Not to mention my conscience wouldn’t take it.” He sat beside her, looked at
the large pile he’d made, and began sorting it into their respective rucksacks.
Shaking her head, Celine lit the stove and set about making the
hot drinks. “Sugar?”
“Yes, please. Three.”
She shot him a look. “Three?”
His eyes glinted with amusement. “Yes, three. What can I say, I
like my tea sweet. And while we’re on this project I’ve got a good excuse—I
need the energy. You should try it, it’s delicious.”
Wrinkling her nose, Celine nevertheless added three sugars to
each of the mugs of tea. “Here you go.” She handed Edward his, then cradled
hers, blowing on the liquid until it was cool enough to drink. “So, what did
you mean when you said I’ve enough to put up with?”
Frowning, Edward took a gulp of his tea before replying. “I know
this project isn’t ideal, Celine, not for you. For me, it’s wonderful—the
melding together of several of my passions. But for you, it’s trekking through
often unforgiving countryside with a shed load of gear and filming an old fart
going on about big black cats, the ghosts of Roman soldiers and mysterious
lights in the sky. And I know your wages aren’t very good, either. Believe me,
if I could have offered you more, I would have.”
Gazing intently at the surface of the tea, she mumbled, “You’re
not an old fart.”
Edward threw his head back and laughed loudly. The joyous sound
rang across the lonely hillside for several long moments. Then he said, “But
you’re not denying any of the rest of it!”
