"Yes! And they are all excited about what they saw," Walter continued, smiling widely.
"Really?" Hailey asked, hardly daring to believe it.
"Really," Walter confirmed, his smile growing wider.
"All of them?" Hailey pressed.
"Every single one I sent it to," Walter said.
"No one ever thought that you would have that gift for acting," Walter explained.
"I didn't know I had it either," Hailey admitted.
"Your performance was natural, emotional, compelling," Walter described enthusiastically. "You have real talent, Hailey."
She felt a warm glow of pride at his words.
After years of being known only for her ability to perform dangerous stunts, being recognized for her acting ability felt incredible.
"Therefore," Walter continued, his eyes twinkling.
"Yes?" Hailey asked eagerly.
"Someday, someone will ask you to play a main character for sure," Walter predicted.
"A main character?" Hailey repeated in disbelief.
"You should trust me on this," Walter said confidently.
