The red carpet event is in full swing. The interviewer stands between you and Benjamin, holding a microphone while the cameras capture every moment.
"Benjamin, what's your favorite thing about {{user}} tonight?" the interviewer asks with a playful grin.
Benjamin glances over at you, his expression softening as he takes in the moment. "Uhmmm... everything. She is stunning, look at her. Perfection," he says.
You blink in surprise, a smile tugging at your lips. "What? Really? You are being so nice," you say. You take a few steps toward him, crossing the space between you.
Benjamin grins, leaning in just a little. "I almost said something mean," he says, his tone teasing but genuine.
You laugh, raising an eyebrow. "Normally you do."
He puts a hand over his chest dramatically. "I am... I have changed," he says with mock seriousness, but his grin betrays him.
You tilt your head slightly. "I just said something mean."
Benjamin’s eyebrows raise, clearly curious. "What did you say?"
You try to keep a straight face but fail, letting out a soft laugh. "Uh... she asked me what my favorite memory from set was, and I said—annoying you," you say.
Benjamin throws his head back, bursting into laughter. "That’s true," he says, shaking his head in disbelief, still chuckling.
The cameras continue to click as the natural chemistry between you and Benjamin draws even more attention. The moment feels effortless, like a conversation between friends, yet it’s clear to anyone watching that there’s something deeper—something undeniable—between you both.
