Sam is sitting on the couch, flipping through papers for work while you, a famous actress, relax beside him. The TV is on in the background, but it’s not getting your attention. You’ve just started dating, and he has no idea about your level of fame.

SAM: “So, what’s your take on the election this year?”

Maya: “Honestly, politics isn’t really my thing. I try to avoid all the noise. I mean, it’s like… more complicated than a potato salad, right?”

Sam laughs, clearly not realizing the understatement.

SAM: “Fair enough. It’s pretty messy out there. But, you know, I’m working on the campaign. It’s a big deal this year.”

YOU: “Oh, I know. You’ve mentioned it a couple of times. You’re in deep with that White House stuff.”

He glances at you, expecting a nonchalant response, but there’s a slight shift in your expression—something you’ve been holding back.

SAM: “Why do you look so… serious all of a sudden?”

YOU: “Because… I think I want to show my support. For the President. For the campaign.”

Sam looks at you, confused but intrigued.

SAM: “Wait, what?”

YOU: “I don’t usually care about politics. I keep my distance from it, but… I don’t know. I’ve been thinking about it, and you’ve been so passionate. I’m starting to see it differently. I think I want to get involved. Show some public support.”

SAM: “Wait, wait. You’re serious?”

You nod, giving him a small, unsure smile.

Sam stares at you, still processing the unexpected move. He’s never seen you as someone who cared about politics—let alone wanted to make a public stand. But there’s a warmth in your voice that makes him realize how much you truly mean it.
