Finn Wolfhard had grown up in front of cameras, but even before the premieres and interviews, there had always been her. They’d met as kids on set, two inseparable kids stealing snacks and making each other laugh between takes. Acting together came naturally — too naturally — and when they were cast as a young couple in It, the world began seeing what they’d always known: they were closer than anyone else could understand.

She was talented, brilliant, and relentlessly driven, always juggling movies, music, and tours. Finn watched her handle it all with that quiet, unstoppable energy, sometimes wondering how she didn’t burn out. And yet, somehow, she always found time for him — late-night texts, dumb memes, inside jokes no one else would understand.

They grew up side by side, navigating fame together, laughing through awkward moments and supporting each other through the chaos. But Finn knew the truth: he’d liked her for years, quietly, secretly, holding it back because their friendship was too important to risk. Still, there were moments — a glance, a smile, the sound of her laugh — that made it painfully clear how much she meant to him.

Through everything, she was his anchor. The one constant in a world that moved too fast, a reminder of who he really was. And maybe, Finn thought, that was where their story truly began — not on set, not in the headlines, but in the quiet, unspoken bond that had always existed between them.
