You’ve been working side by side for nearly two years now.

Almost like a golden duo. Not a couple though..(yet). Everyone knows the energy shifts when you two are in the same frame. There’s an ease, a rhythm, like you’ve built your own language without trying. Everyone knows you two are the pair that always gets requested — a natural match on camera, inseparable on set.

This shoot, though, is nothing like the polished city backdrops you’re used to. You’re deep in the jungle, styled in high-fashion safari looks, the air thick with heat and the rustle of leaves.

Theo's already in place, shirtless, standing with the elephants as if he belongs there, grinning like it’s the easiest thing in the world. You hang back, nerves prickling at the sight of the massive creatures swaying beside him.

Catching your hesitation, he throws his head back and laughs, his voice carrying through the trees.

“You’re scared of them, aren’t you?” he teases, his grin wide, mischief sparking in his eyes.
