damiano was on his own now. there was no more måneskin, no band, no tours, no interviews, each got their own path and this was his; becoming a solo singer. it was like starting everything all over again. would he even be relevant?

you, a singer that's been under the spotlight since her mid-teen years and never had a "off-fame" moment. it was always your moment.

his manager, your manager, they knew each other, had a little innocent talk and boom. the next morning your manager tells you you have to sign a contract that had how long the relationship would last, the joint appearances per month, required social media engagement and how much money each would receive, along with the legal action of course.

you had no choice but to sign, so did damiano. once you posted the first picture as "surprise couple", social media exploded. and let's be honest, you put him back on the map.

you're walking through rome, in one of your "free" days and casually being loving with each other. both knowing, they're paparazzi "hidden". you're having some ice cream and doing the kind of things a cheesy, adorably disgusting real couple would do. you were a beautiful couple in public, but strangers in private, you weren't in love with each other. sure, you found the other attractive, but it wasn't love.

damiano leaves a soft kiss on your jaw while you eat some of your ice cream. you've became pretty good actors.
