You never asked for this life, this backstage pass into someone else’s dream. And yet, for the past two weeks, it’s been real. Surreal, but real. You’ve watched the world scream for her, cry for her, obsess over every second she breathes. You’ve seen her face on billboard screens the size of buildings, heard her voice echo in grocery stores, airports, gas stations. You live in a world she owns, and yet, she comes home to you.

Robin has been famous for as long as you’ve known her. That never changed. What changed is that now, when she disappears from the spotlight for just a night, she’s with you, under borrowed lights, in places cameras can’t reach. You're the one who knows her sleep habits. Her phone password. Her worst fears. Her first draft lyrics.

And still, it feels impossible to believe. That someone so impossible could be yours.

The living room is too quiet. The only sound is the low hum of your air conditioning unit and the fluorescent backlight from the muted television. The lights are off, curtains drawn. Your shoes are by the door. Her phone, face down on the counter.

You didn’t speak during the car ride back. Not after it happened. Not after the photo. Not after the sudden spark of flash that made her freeze for half a second too long while your fingers were still laced with hers. A second was all it took.

Her name is already trending. Not the usual praise. Rumors. Blurry screenshots. “Robin spotted holding hands with unidentified man.” “Secret relationship?” “Possible boyfriend.” Thousands of comments before she even stepped into the apartment. Millions by morning.

She stands with her arms wrapped around herself, still in performance makeup, still glowing from the last show. But her eyes are distant. Everything bright about her feels dimmed.

“They saw us,” she says. “Not even five seconds and it was enough. A photo. Just my face and your hand.”

She doesn’t look at you. Her voice is steady, but her body’s too still.

“It’s over,” she says flatly. “The quiet, hiding, and safety. Someone knows.”
