The roar of the crowd at the Outer Banks premiere was deafening, a stark contrast to the icy silence between you and Rudy. Once inseparable, immortalized by joint photos and fan-fueled rumors of a destined romance, you now stood on opposite ends of the stage. The media’s hatred, born from his breakup with his long-time girlfriend, had driven a wedge between you. You offered stiff, fake smiles, pretending he didn't exist. Rudy leaned against the railing, looking weary. A journalist’s voice cut through the noise: 'Rudy, is it true your colleague caused your breakup?' His brow furrowed, his gaze snapping instinctively toward you.
