VIDEO DIARIES #4
Feb. 23  '21    10:41 pm

Miami, Florida
Clara Bow's Birthday

[camera starts, CLARA BOW smiling giddily]

               CLARA BOW
Today is, February 23rd, 2021. Or my birthday if you're so inclined.

               LUKE
[behind the camera] You're twenty!

               CLARA BOW
Yes, I'm twenty, if you can hear Luke shouting.

[CLARA BOW laughs, panning
the camera over to Luke]

He brought me out to dinner for the night. We were supposed to be getting Italian until someone got lost.

               LUKE
You were the one who gave me the address

               CLARA BOW
You're the one who didn't even follow them. 

[the camera pans down to the sushi]

So we got sushi, instead.

[camera back to CLARA BOW]

And he stopped at McDonald's before he even picked me up. Which ended up on the street.

               LUKE
Yeah, waste of my twenty bucks [voice low, LUKE complained]

               CLARA BOW
Twenty bucks? What the heck did you order?

               LUKE
Doesn't matter

[LUKE waved for the camera.
camera turns towards LUKE as he
grabbed something from the ground]

Giving you guys a fit check. [places a bag over his shoulder and holds up a shoe] You guys remember these, we got these in the first one. Clara so graciously gifted me.

               CLARA BOW
[giggling behind the camera] You're doing a fit check on my birthday diary? You know no one watches these, right?

               LUKE
Yeah, but this is important. Which, thank you for these shoes by the way. They're amazing. LA Dodgers cap, [LUKE placed the hat on] matching my shorts [LUKE laughed, proud of himself]. Pulling it all together, we got a white tank top, five dollars at your local Walmart.

               CLARA BOW
Wow, that was so intriguing, thank you Luke

[camera turns back to CLARA BOW]

Luke and Brynn flew out to Florida a couple days ago for my birthday. They've been on set with me and we've been exploring. Florida is freakin' huge, so, glad they're with me.

               LUKE
You meet anybody on set yet? Or anyone, really.

               CLARA BOW
Shut up.

               LUKE
Hey, im just asking. Looking out for my friend is all.

               CLARA BOW
[laughing] You're annoying.

[camera drops and cuts off suddenly]

MIAMI, FLORIDA
            10:41 pm     Feb. 23   '21

THERE WAS A commotion in the corner of the restaurant. Loud enough to grab everyone's attention, but not long enough to hold it. It had drawn the restaurant goers attention over to Luke as he shot up from his chair suddenly. A glass fell to the floor shattering, a gasp filling the place before someone was frantically trying to clean it up

"Oh, shit," Luke muttered.

"Oh, my god," she was apologizing quickly. "I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry, oh, my god."

"It's okay," Clara Bow brushed off, grabbing the napkin that Luke was handing her quickly before brushing off the wine that had spilled down over her shoulder.

"Are you okay?" She was already reaching down to clean up the glass shards before Clara bow was stopping her. Clara Bow grabbed her wrist gently to pull her away.

"I'm okay," she promised. "Don't slice your hand open," she offered, hearing the glass fall back to the floor as the girl looked up at her, her eyes following the trail of wine that was dripping down her arm. "Seriously, it's okay. It was an accident."

"Oh, my god. I feel terrible," she apologized again, brushing her hair behind her ears quickly while she stood up to her feet. "Are you okay?" She turned to Luke.

"I'm fine," he nodded to reassure her, already working on wiping up the table as Clara Bow went back to her arm.

"Can I — can I pay for something? Can I pay for your meal? Please?"

"What?" Clara Bow protested. "No. No, no, I can't ask you to do that. Seriously, it's okay," she chuckled softly at the girls obvious worry. It was endearing, that she cared so much.

A waiter walked over with a few rags to help them clean up, sweeping up the broken glass as the girl stepped further into the booth towards Luke to get away. Clara Bow thanked them quietly as she grabbed the rag, wiping off what she could off her dress before finishing the table.

"God, I feel terrible. Are you sure?"

"Yes, I'm s —"

"How about dessert?" Luke offered.

"Luke —" Clara Bow protested quickly.

"You're not paying for our dinner, it was my treat, anyway. But I wouldn't be opposed to a slice of cake," he smiled sweetly at the girl as her own smile grew on her face slowly.

"Yeah?" The girl whispered.

"Yeah," he nodded.

"Okay," she nodded shortly, already reaching for her purse.

"It's seriously okay —" Clara Bow went to protest.

"Think of it as a birthday present," Luke offered. "I know you love cake."

"Is it your birthday?" She asked, fishing out a few bills from her purse. "Great, that makes me feel even better about spilling wine down your dress. Which is gorgeous by the way."

Clara Bow could feel the blush creeping up the back of her neck from the sudden compliment.

"Here you go," she placed more than enough down for a simple dessert before brushing her hair behind her ear again when it fell. "Happy Birthday," she held her shoulder as she walked past the still broken glass. "I'm so sorry, again. Seriously."

"It's okay," Clara Bow smiled gently, patting her hand on her shoulder softly before she finally dropped her hand and waved before turning to make her departure.

Clara Bow watched her disappear around the corner, someone holding the door open for her before the city of Miami had stolen her away. She turned back to her food finally, looking down to see the last of the glass get swept up before noticing Luke staring at her.

"What?" She started, looking down at her arm and dress to make sure she cleaned up all the wine. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing," he shrugged. Biting back the smile on his face as Clara Bow panicked a little.

"What?"

"Nothing. You're fine."

"And yet I don't seem to trust you."
