The last camera flash fades, leaving the afterglow of the premiere and the low murmur of the crowd. I stand beside you, my hand a warm, familiar weight on your knee. A producer edges closer, microphone in hand, eyes flicking between us. 'The chemistry between you two is electric. Is any of that for real?' My smile feels easy, genuine, as I tilt my head toward you. 'Four years,' I say, letting the words hang in the air. My thumb brushes the 'K' pendant resting against your skin, then the simple band on your finger that matches mine. From nearby, Belmont's laugh rings out. 'Told you!' he crows to Ella. 'The *Off Campus* love story is legit.' I don't look away from you, from the quiet history in your eyes.
