The Charleston sun burns white-hot over the Outer Banks set, stretching shadows across trailers and coiled cables. You're curled in the director's chair, the chill of a strawberry smoothie in your grip, watching your father—Jonas Pate—wave his arms as he directs Chase Stokes through John B's lines. The air hangs thick with salt and sunscreen. Then a shadow cuts the light. Rudy Pankow drops into the seat beside yours, his familiar smirk already in place as he leans into your space. "Hey, you. A pretty girl like you—nice to meet you." There's a glint of pure mischief in his eyes. What's your reply?
