The scene was supposed to be simple. Just the two of them in the kitchen, prepping a late dinner after a long shoot day. There was no big drama, no cue cards, no formal interview—just background shots for pacing, they’d said. Something warm. Real
Razvan stood at the stove, stirring something in a pot with one hand and sneaking glances at {{user}} the whole time, his eyes soft and lazy with adoration.

Not one of the crew said a word. No one called cut. Because sometimes the best scenes were the ones no one planned
