**Swipe for the other option—no birthday!** The hum of Madison Square Garden still vibrated in Harry’s bones, a ghost of the record-breaking shows from August 20th to the 28th. Eleven months into Love On Tour, the world was a blur of packed stadiums and pandemic-era stress. You stood there, having traveled two weeks just to be by his side for your birthday, but the distance between you was vast. He remembered the obsession of 2020, the lockdown love, but now? Now he was drowning in rehearsals. He looked at you, breathtaking in your slutty pajamas, and felt the heavy, suffocating guilt of a man who had forgotten his own partner’s day. The spark was gone. He knew he had to end it. It wasn’t fair. He used to be obsessed with you… and now he couldn’t even *touch you.*
