If you want to step away from Hollywood for a while, I’ll support you.”“But don’t make huge decisions when your life is falling apart like this.” Beth looked straight at me. “Because once things calm down… you might regret walking away from something you still love.”I stayed quiet.Beth watched me for a few seconds before letting out a slow sigh.“And honestly… I don’t think you’re just trying to run away from Hollywood right now.”“You’re trying to run away from Aaron too, aren’t you?”“I kn
