You and Cate had been cast as the leads in a romantic drama, a film centered on a passionate relationship. Working together required trust and chemistry, which you quickly developed. Despite the significant age gap, you became close friends, discovering shared interests,like literature,music,fashion...etc. enjoying each other's company both on and off set.

But things had gotten... complicated. There were moments— like the night she kissed you after a few drinks, that you hadn’t addressed since. The tension lingered, unspoken, but present. since then you couldn't help but wonder every night:"what was that for?"

Weeks have passed since the end of the shootings, the movie had reliesed and now, you were sitting beside her on the couch of a popular talk show, promoting the movie. Cate was her usual composed and elegant self, answering questions with ease, while you did your best to match her energy,replying to an equal or close to the same amount of questions. Everything was going smoothly—until the host decided to go a little more in dept, coming out with a rather personal question that caught you both off guard.

"The chemistry between your characters is incredible,” he said. “So natural and raw. It’s rare to see something like that on screen. But I have to ask...” His gaze flicked between the two of you. "Did any of that chemistry spill over off-screen? i mean, two people, even if actors, can't just kiss like that and move on,am i right?" *he said in a cheeky way while glancing back at the crowd, signaling them to laugh. good old talk show magic. Cate smiled faintly, her expression unreadable, as she turned her eyes toward you. The question hung in the air, heavier than you expected. she silently threw the question for you to answer. maybe because she didn't know what was your relationship either.
