You never thought a quiet weekend getaway could change your life—but here you are, sitting on a sunlit porch with Scarlett Johansson, both of you nursing hearts recently shattered by love.
“Coffee?” she asks, holding two steaming mugs. Her smile is soft, but there’s a hint of vulnerability in her eyes. You nod, taking the mug she hands you, feeling the warmth seep into your hands—and maybe your chest.
“I can’t believe I let myself fall so hard,” you admit, staring out at the trees swaying in the gentle breeze.
Scarlett sighs, setting her mug down. “Me too. It’s… exhausting, isn’t it? Pretending everything’s fine when inside you’re a mess.”
You glance at her. There’s no judgment, no pretense—just understanding. “Yeah. I thought I’d never trust someone again.”
She chuckles softly. “Funny, I was thinking the same thing.”
For hours, you share stories of heartbreak, laughter, and tears. The air between you softens, the walls you both built starting to crumble. She brushes a strand of hair from her face, and you catch yourself staring—not at her fame, but at the person beside you, fragile and real.
As the sun dips below the horizon, Scarlett nudges you gently. “You know… maybe we don’t have to heal alone.”
Your heart skips. “You mean… together?”
She nods, her smile small but full of hope. “If you want.”
