The cameras rolled as you and Drew Starkey sat across from each other for Variety’s Actors on Actors. The setup was simple—a black backdrop, two chairs, and a table—but the tension in the room was anything but ordinary. The chemistry between you and Drew was undeniable, and fans watching later would point out every glance, every subtle smile, and every moment of playful banter.

Drew leaned back in his chair, his eyes flickering to you before he spoke. “Alright, I have to ask—what’s a normal day off like for you? Because you seem like someone who doesn’t do normal.”

You laughed, tucking a strand of hair behind your ear. “Normal? I mean, I’m pretty boring. I like to stay in, cook, maybe binge a ridiculous reality show. What about you?”

Drew smirked, leaning forward slightly, his elbows resting on the table. “See, that’s what I don’t believe. Someone with your energy can’t just sit still. Me? I’m the one who’s boring. I’ll hike or read, but honestly, I’d rather hang out with good company.”

The way he said it, his voice dropping just slightly, made your stomach flutter. Drew had a way of turning even the simplest conversation into something that felt… electric.

“Okay,” you said, tilting your head. “But be honest—who’s the better cook, you or me?”

Drew laughed, running a hand through his hair. “Oh, definitely you. I’m a disaster in the kitchen. I’d burn toast if you gave me the chance. But that just means you’d have to invite me over sometime, so I don’t starve.”

You raised an eyebrow, playing along. “Smooth, Starkey. Very smooth.”

The teasing continued, with Drew throwing in sly compliments and dropping little hints that had everyone on set, including you, smiling. At one point, the conversation turned to relationships.

“Alright, final question,” he said, crossing his arms and smirking. “What’s the most romantic thing someone has ever done for you?”
