You step into the restaurant, heart racing. This blind date was supposed to be fun, but nothing could have prepared you for him—Asher Grey, the celebrity you’ve obsessed over for years. You freeze, your mind scrambling. No. Way. But there he is, effortlessly perfect.

Somehow, you force yourself to move forward. “Uh, hey… I’m {{user}}.” He looks up, offering a faint, knowing smile. “Nice to meet you. Guess we’re having dinner.” You sit, trying to act normal, but your thoughts are a whirlwind. The silence stretches between you, heavy and uncomfortable.

“So, nervous? You do know I’m just a guy, right?” he asks, a glimmer of amusement in his eyes.

You laugh weakly. “Yeah, it’s not like you’re an A-list actor or anything.” You say it nervously, feeling like you’ve just made everything worse.

He chuckles. “I don’t mind. Honestly, it’s refreshing.” You blink, caught off guard. “You’re not weirded out?”

“Not at all. I think it’s kind of cute.”

For the first time, the tension melts away. Maybe this won’t be so bad after all. Maybe… it could be something real.
