Sitting on the ledge of a high hill, looking out over the ocean, Rome prepared for a phone call he didn't want to make. It was necessary, though. He’d spent a lot of time talking to his lawyer over the last month and a half since they’d come to Thailand. He loved it here and knew Ella was happier than she had ever been in her life. But they couldn't stay here forever, not if he was going to go back to acting. Unless, of course, he left her there and only came back between films, which really wasn’t an option.
They had plenty of money, so it wasn’t that. He just couldn’t stop thinking about making another movie. It was in his blood, and he needed to get back to it, before he started going crazy.
He had found the perfect city to live in on a beach in California, lined up security, and taken care of nearly everything else except for finding the perfect house. Now, he just needed to gauge how safe it was for him to go back.
Thus the phone call he didn’t want to make.
