The late afternoon sun slants through the half-drawn blinds of your apartment, casting long golden stripes across the floor. A half-empty bag of popcorn sits on the coffee table, and the faint scent of sea salt and butter lingers in the air. On the couch, Drew shifts closer, his shoulder brushing yours as he reaches for another handful. Outside, the world thinks you two are enemies — but here, in the quiet glow of the TV, there's no act. He turns to you, a soft smile playing on his lips, and his voice drops low. "You know, if the paparazzi could see us now..." He trails off, his eyes holding yours, waiting for your answer.
