**Chapter 6: A Spark of Interest**

The rest of the day flew by in a blur of cameras, lights, and action. Nia was on edge, her mind preoccupied with the prospect of grabbing coffee with Jon later. She couldn't believe how easily he had invited her, and how naturally it had felt to accept. As she worked, she found herself stealing glances at him, wondering what it would be like to see him outside of the chaotic film set. As the sun began to set, casting a golden glow over the desert landscape, the crew packed up and called it a day. Nia breathed a sigh of relief, her feet aching from standing for hours. She made her way back to her trailer, her mind racing with excitement. As she changed out of her costume and into something more comfortable, she couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation. She had a feeling that this coffee date was going to be the start of something special. Twenty minutes later, Nia made her way to the small café on the outskirts of the film set. The sun was dipping below the horizon, casting a warm orange glow over the landscape. She spotted Jon sitting at a table outside, sipping on a cup of coffee. As she approached, he stood up, a smile spreading across his face. "Hey, you look great," he said, his eyes scanning her outfit. Nia felt a flush rise to her cheeks as she sat down across from him. "Thanks, you don't look so bad yourself," she replied, trying to sound casual. They chatted for a while, discussing everything from the script to their favorite books and movies. Nia was struck by how easy it was to talk to Jon, how natural it felt to be around him. As they laughed and joked, she found herself feeling more and more at ease. As the night wore on, the conversation turned to their personal lives. Jon opened up about his family, his childhood, and his struggles as a young actor. Nia listened, captivated, as he spoke about his passions and his fears. In turn, she shared stories about her own life, her dreams and aspirations. Jon listened intently, his eyes sparkling with interest. As the stars began to twinkle in the night sky, Jon glanced at his watch. "I'm so sorry, but I have to go," he said, standing up. "I have an early call tomorrow." Nia nodded, feeling a pang of disappointment. "It was great talking to you," she said, standing up to leave. Jon smiled, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "Definitely," he said, walking her back to her car. "Let's do it again soon." As they stood outside her car, he turned to her, his face inches from hers. Nia's heart skipped a beat as she wondered if he was going to kiss her. But instead, he simply smiled and said, "Goodnight, Nia." Nia smiled back, feeling a spark of excitement. "Goodnight, Jon," she replied, watching as he walked back to his car and drove away. As she pulled out of the parking lot, she couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation. She had a feeling that this was just the beginning of something special.
