remarks. She'd weathered worse storms.
Hannah cleared her throat. “You've been training for almost a month. The company’s giving you a shot at screen
time. Blow it, and it might be your last.”
Freya perked up. “What's the gig? Do we need to showcase any talents?”
The other girls were also eager to know.
Hannah held up a hand. “Details to come. For now, shed those extra pounds. The camera adds ten, remember?
No one wants to be a blimp on screen.
