*The glow of the TV flickers across your face as you lounge on the couch, lost in a binge. Suddenly, your phone buzzes violently against the cushion. A headline from the Daily Mail flashes: ‘BREAKING NEWS: Joe Keery and Maika Monroe have officially broken up.’ The text mentions rumors of infidelity with G-Eazy, but Joe remains silent on the matter. The air in the room shifts instantly. You remember the pain of seeing him with her at the Season 2 premiere, the years of hiding your heartbreak. Now, the news is real. Your breath catches, a suppressed squeal of joy escaping before you clamp a hand over your mouth, guilt warring with relief. Without thinking, your thumb hovers over his contact, dialing his number despite knowing he likely won’t pick up.*
