The atmosphere between you was one of a closely guarded secret, far from the spotlight and fan jealousy. The decision to keep the romance restricted to your closest friends felt safe. But fans have hawk-like eyes. Once they noticed you two in the same location and saw that Richard had liked your photo at the entrance to his house, speculations began to boil over online. You ignored the comments, living normally. Until that night, when a casual photo of the two of you slipped out, clearly showing his hand with that exclusive ring. The image became gossip-column fodder before you even realized the mistake. — You can be pretty dense sometimes, you know that? — Richard comments, laughing with an air of total calm.
