Free Blurred Boundaries by Lori Crawford

walked in. Judging by the beads of water still in his hair, he was freshly showered. He was just in time to see himself attempt to talk around his werewolf teeth.
    Evan endured the teasing as he picked his way through the crowd trying to find a place to sit. Somehow, he managed to end up right next to her. He smelled delicious, confirming her suspicions that he had just bathed.
    In an unexpected Twister like move, Evan lay across the bed with his head propped up on his hand. Her legs ended up in the space between his arm and torso. Every time he moved, he kind of laid right on her.
    In a total sibling rivalry way, Marc tapped Evan’s hand so his head fell off its rest. In retaliation, Evan flicked Marc’s ear. Marc responded by pressing farther on the bed so his head blocked Evan’s view of the TV. Evan nudged at Marc trying to get him to move. Neither gave an inch. And Tam was right in the middle of it all. Literally. She took another moment to marvel at the surreal turn her life had taken.
    Speaking of surreal, the footage got to the part where Tam had given Evan the revised. “Oh, no.” She clapped a hand over her eyes, but peeked between her fingertips. Evan turned a grin on her.
    “What’s the matter?”
    “I should never be in front of anyone’s camera. I thought you’d stopped rolling,” she complained.
    Evan wrestled her hand away from her eyes to force her to watch. “If we have to watch ourselves be screwballs, you can, too.”
    “No.” She used the other hand to cover her eyes. Marc pulled that one away.
    “Yes,” Marc said. Fine time for them to team up now.
    Tam decided to woman up and watch. It’s not like she’d be on screen all that long. Except it seemed like she was. And from the worst possible angle, too. Her backside. She was tempted to regret the fried chicken she’d had for dinner. Then decided against it. So, she wasn’t a twig. Anyone who didn’t like it could just get over it.
    “Wait. What was that?” Audra asked.
    Tam looked at the woman. “What?”
    “Go back.” Rock rewound a few frames. He started up again when Tam had lifted the script to conceal her pissed off smiley face.
    “There. What did you say to him?” Everyone turned to look expectantly at Tam. Now she knew what a deer in headlights felt like. She decided to play dumb and shrugged.
    “I just gave him the revised line.”
    The explanation clearly wasn’t enough for Audra. She turned her attention to Evan. “What did she say to you?”
    “Nothing. Maybe her chin itched. I don’t know. I didn’t pay that much attention. I was trying to get the new line right.” Evan turned his attention back to the TV with such finality that there was no question that he considered the topic closed. Tam decided to follow his lead. She could still see Audra studying them from the corner of her eye. But she figured protesting too much would only raise questions, not answer them.
    She wasn’t sure why she’d hopped on the secrecy train with such ease. Mostly likely it was because she enjoyed having an inside joke with someone on the show. It made her feel like she actually fit in for a change. Although, that her inside joke happened to be with Evan, a man who was too hot for his own safety, was just icing on the cake.
    Tam refocused on the TV just as the screen went black. Rock sat back in his chair with a smile. He looked genuinely pleased with how things were going.
    “What is call time tomorrow?” He asked.
    Kyle spoke up from the corner of the room. “Four a.m. Same as today.”
    Rock checked his watch and stretched. “We have come far, but there is far to go. Get good rest tonight.”
    With that pronouncement, people began to head for the door. Tanzi stood and held up a clipboard. “I want to thank all of you who’ve helped us out by taking on a roommate. I know it’s not ideal, but the network changes to the script didn’t come with any additional budget.”
    “Does the budget cover food for tomorrow?” A
