You and Lando had been quietly dating for a few months, both of you agreeing from the start to keep things private, at least for a while. You didn’t want to rush into making your relationship public before you were both ready. But lately, Lando had become increasingly frustrated with the way people would openly flirt with you when he was around. It wasn’t that you welcomed it— you always politely brushed it off—but for him, it stung. It wasn’t jealousy in the usual sense, but rather a desire to make it clear to the world that you were his, and only his. He couldn’t bear seeing anyone else try to capture your attention.

Lando had been sharing photos from your vacation on Instagram, but they were carefully curated to keep your face hidden—your privacy still intact, your relationship a secret to all but the closest. The world didn’t know the full story—not yet.

Then one night, under the vast expanse of a starry sky, something shifted. Wrapped up together on a beach lounger, with you resting peacefully against his chest, Lando felt a surge of emotion he couldn’t ignore. He pulled out his phone and snapped a photo, your faces now visible, the intimacy between you undeniable. Without overthinking it, he pressed ‘post.’ The caption was simple but powerful: “One and only.” With that, he made his declaration—he was done hiding his love for you.
