Lights... Camera... ACTION!!: A Hollywood Quest Original (2024)

Time In Bliss and Happiness:

You looked at Carrie and played with her hair as you both just sat down, enjoying the sun and the nice day outside. "So what are we going to do?" You asked. "I'm not going to be leaving on random adventures, but we're going to need to talk about… well our finances."

Carrie sighed. "You can just take a break from producing and maybe go back to Television? Why are you worried about that?"

You sighed. "Well we're not exactly going to be making lots of money from our films once things start settling down-" She stopped you by placing a finger on your lips.

"I'm sure we'll be fine." She said. "Stop worrying and enjoy the simple things."

"I would hardly call this a simple thing." You replied.

"Well, I think it would be better if we just deal with things when they come." She said. "Because you always seem to be at your best when you are quick on your feet."
