"Just got on set Julie, whats up?" Phoenix answered her phone energetically. She had woken up in such a good mood that she was actually happy to speak to her older sister, even at 8:30 in the morning.

As Phoenix began to spend more and more time with Chris, she noticed his energy rubbing off on her in the most positive way imaginable. There was just something about spending the entire night hanging out with him that gave her a natural attitude boost. Instead of a getting drunk off alcohol, she was getting drunk off of Chris's relaxing aroma every time they spent longer than a couple hours together. He was already beginning to make her feel more alive than she ever had before.

"Just a quick question and I'll let you go." Her sister spoke with a sense of urgency. "We're starting the seating charts for the wedding this morning and I need to you if you're bringing someone. If not, we won't save the extra seat."

"I don't know."

"What do you mean you 'don't know' Genevieve?"

"Exactly what I said, Giuliana." Phoenix used her sister's full name, trying with every fiber in her being not to let Julie ruin the good mood she was in.

"You literally have 3 men at your disposal... pick one."

"Ehhh..."

"God, I'll just put Luka down since everyone already knows him." Julie decided.

Phoenix shook her head. "That's a negative. I haven't talked to Luka in weeks. BUT I can ask Tom if he wants to go and get back with you."

"Why bring Tom when you could bring Captain freaking America?"

"3 reasons. 1: Chris and I aren't even there yet in this relationship thing. 2: He's Captain freaking America, as you put it, through no fault of his own he would bring a lot of attention on himself just by being there. And 3: your wedding is in July... Who knows if we'll even be in the same space in three months?" Phoenix explained.

Although she had recently started to look at her thing with Chris as less temporary, she was still skeptical and definitely didn't want to jinx anything by making plans so early on. Above all else, Phoenix knew that in spite of anything that happened in the next three months, she and Tom would still be close friends. It was a safer bet to invite him rather than Chris. And she had no doubt her family would adore Tom just as she did without bombarding her with questions about her love life.

"I still think you should ask Chris."

"I don't care. I'm at work and I can't be on the phone with you all day." Phoenix rolled her eyes. Not allowing Julie the chance to formulate a response, she ended the call.

After hanging up with her sister, Phoenix had spent 10 minutes walking around set, checking on various cast members and speaking to some of the crew before spotting Tom and Robert.

"Good morning Robert. Hi Tom." She greeted.

"Me?" Robert looked around dramatically. "The infamous Darth Phoenix is actually talking to me?"

"Have fun with Chris yesterday?" Tom asked.

"Definitely." Phoenix nodded. "But I did fail miserably at teaching him how to play Star Wars Battlefront 2."

"Not too much fun, I hope." Robert chimed in.

"Not too much fun." She confirmed with a small laugh.

"Glad to hear it." He replied.
