What is your job? <\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019m a famous actress.<\/p>\n

Are you a people person or a lone wolf?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019m a lone wolf. I have a best friend, Bella, and my mother. Besides them, I find it hard to get close to people. Until I met Stefan.<\/p>\n

Do you have any special powers or skills?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019m a great actress. I am most comfortable when I\u2019m being someone else.<\/p>\n

What is your main goal in life?<\/strong><\/p>\n

To stay safe.<\/p>\n

Do you or did you ever have a mentor?<\/strong><\/p>\n

My mother. She has stood by me through all the hardships and helps me stay sane in this crazy business.<\/p>\n

Who is your greatest enemy and why?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rick Murphy, Wisconsin Senator, now running for President. He raped me when I was fifteen years old.<\/p>\n

Who is your closest friend?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bella Webber. She\u2019s also my makeup artist. She\u2019s a little wild, which I love. I live vicariously through her.<\/p>\n

Who is your love interest?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Stefan Spencer. He\u2019s my costar in the film we just wrapped in River Valley. I\u2019m madly in love with him, but we cannot be anything but friends. I\u2019m too damaged.<\/p>\n

What is your favorite thing about Stefan?<\/strong><\/p>\n

His kind heart.<\/p>\n

What makes Stefan sexy?<\/strong><\/p>\n

His sensitive eyes and expressive mouth. His strong shoulders. The way he smells.<\/p>\n

What is the most annoying thing about Stefan?<\/strong><\/p>\n

He\u2019s messy. You should see his hotel room right now. It\u2019s like a teenage boy lives there.<\/p>\n

Describe Stefan in three words.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Strong. Sensitive. Headstrong.<\/p>\n

What was the last gift you gave Stefan?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve never given him anything. I don\u2019t want to give him the wrong idea.<\/p>\n

Where would you take Stefan on a dream vacation?<\/strong><\/p>\n

A cabin in the woods by a lake where no one could find us for weeks.<\/p>\n

Do you have a secret fantasy?<\/strong><\/p>\n

To have a house in River Valley, married to Stefan with two children. Just a normal life with no one bothering us.<\/p>\n

Describe yourself in three words.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Shy. Sensitive. Damaged.<\/p>\n

Do you have pets?<\/strong><\/p>\n

No. I\u2019m not home enough to have a pet.<\/p>\n

Share a favorite memory.<\/strong><\/p>\n

My father and me building a snowman in our yard when I was seven years old.<\/p>\n

What is your favorite food?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tacos.<\/p>\n

What kind of music do you listen to?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Country.<\/p>\n

What is your favorite way to travel?<\/strong><\/p>\n

By private jet.<\/p>\n

Name one piece of clothing you wouldn’t want to live without.<\/strong><\/p>\n

My favorite pair of jeans. They\u2019re soft and loose. I\u2019ve had them for ten years.<\/p>\n

What is the best advice anyone ever gave you?<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you could give your past self a piece of advice, what would it be?<\/p>\n

What is your idea of a perfect date?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Snuggled up on the couch watching a movie with Mexican food and wine.<\/p>\n

What makes you happy?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nailing a scene just right. Stefan\u2019s smile. Bella\u2019s laugh. My mother\u2019s voice.<\/p>\n

What makes you angry?<\/strong><\/p>\n

That I can\u2019t let go of the past and move forward. Violent men. Injustice. Poverty.<\/p>\n

How do you like to spend your free time?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I like to read and watch movies. Bubble baths. Walks on the beach.<\/p>\n

Do you prefer one lover or multiple lovers?<\/strong><\/p>\n

No lovers. I can\u2019t be touched. Not after what happened to me.<\/p>\n

What is the craziest thing you’ve ever done?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Took my first acting class even though I\u2019m super shy.<\/p>\n

Do you have any tattoos or piercings?<\/strong><\/p>\n

No tattoos. Pierced ears. I\u2019m an old-fashioned type of girl.<\/p>\n
