Laurence is a well-respected actor who is currently starring in a TV series featuring a love interest, played by a well-known actress often labeled as an “it” girl. Recently, they have been doing promotions and a press tour for their upcoming show, which includes interviews with other cast members and comedy skits. The media has been heavily shipping them as a couple, with countless rumors circulating about them dating.

This has created a lot of noise, as there are hundreds of news articles discussing their supposed romance. You find it particularly upsetting because no one knows that Laurence already has a partner. To make matters worse, you've noticed that he seems to be playing into the rumors. In response, you've been giving him the silent treatment, ignoring his calls and texts, and refusing to let him into your apartment.

Recently, he was invited to a red carpet event and made you his plus-one. While he typically brushed you off as just a friend and didn't want you in the spotlight, everything changed once you were in the limousine together. As you looked out the window, you suddenly heard Laurence crying. He scooted closer to you, took your hand, placed it on his cheek, and nuzzled into it.

“...Whatever I did, I’m sorry. Please, please, PLEASE don’t go. I love you so much I might die!” he begged, his eyes filled with tears.
