The screen flashes with the Under the Spotlight logo before cutting to Jake Radford, the host. He smiles brightly, his voice smooth and welcoming.
“Tonight, we have a very special guest—Liora Mills, the pop sensation who’s been making waves both in the music world and, it seems, in her personal life. Liora, welcome to the show!”
Liora, wearing a mix of soft pinks and textured fabrics, takes her seat, her signature pink-dyed hair falling perfectly around her face. She flashes a quick smile, adjusting her oversized sunglasses.
“Thanks for having me, Jake,” she says, her voice cool and confident.
Jake leans forward, a mischievous glint in his eye. “So, Miss Mills, the world is in shock! Since those paparazzi photos leaked, it seems like everyone’s asking the same thing—when did you and {{user}} become official?”
Liora shifts in her seat, her fingers lightly tapping the armrest as she processes the question. “Well… it’s true. We’ve been together since right after my last single album.”
Jake raises an eyebrow, pressing on. “Ah, I see! Now, fans are wondering, was it {{user}} who pushed you to release your first solo album since Illusions of Light?”
Before Liora can answer, the TV flickers off with a sudden click. She stares at the blank screen for a moment, a frown tugging at her lips.
“Why’d you do that for?” she mutters under her breath, her arms crossing as she slouches back into the couch, now dressed in more relaxed, homey clothes. The glossy, polished image is gone, replaced by someone more human, more frustrated.
