TIME passed quickly as Astrid wrapped up the last of his [Serendipitous Summer] promotions. These final promotions were actually enjoyable—probably because Snow was there with him. Having a close friend around actually made the experience better.
A week since the movie's release, [Serendipitous Summer] had climbed into the top 30 of the weekly box office list. For a film led by rookie actors and directed by someone stepping into movies for the first time, it was a remarkably good outcome. Honestly, it was probably the best result anyone could've realistically hoped for.
Astrid was certainly satisfied with the result. It wasn't just about the numbers—though those were good—but the fact that people were actually watching and enjoying something he'd poured his heart into. Seeing the positive reviews and hearing fans talk about the movie made it all worth it.
"Aster, I'm heading out to pick up Lauren!" Reas called from the doorway. "We'll go straight to Kiran's place after."
