    you and the rest of the cast took their seats for a an interview. the host shuffled through the cards, handing one over to drew. drew held the card, and a somewhat mischievous smile spread across his face. “whats my secret talent, bonus, how'd I learn it?”

    the room fell quiet, all eyes were on him, and you couldn’t help but smile. you raised your eyebrows slightly towards him. but, what you were thinking wasn’t exactly something that could be said in front of an audience. before you could stop yourself, the words slipped out. "not sleeping," you said, your tone was light but it carried a teasing undertone.

    the room burst into laughter, and drew raised an eyebrow at you, a smirk tugging at the corner of his lips. Madison jumped in, which you thanked her for in your head. it would save you from some embarassment. maybe. "piano. I know for a fact drew plays piano."

    the host raised an eyebrow, a teasing smile on her face. “so you both knew Drew's secret talent? how do you know so much about his late-night habits, huh?”

    “well, you’re both right” he laughed, not missing a beat, his gaze caught yours before he turned his attention back to the group.

    the tension in the room shifted, and everyone glanced between you and drew, the unspoken connection between you two was suddenly very noticeable. you could feel your heart rate quicken as the air in the room seemed to grow heavier, and drew’s gaze locked with yours for a split second, a playful glint in his eye that made you want to both laugh and disappear into the floor at the same time. you forced yourself to look away.

    Madison caught on first, her expression turned from amused to curious, a teasing grin on her face. “how'd you know about it, huh?” she asked, looking at you.
