You had been dating Elle Greenaway for just over one year.
Early in your relationship, you learned that Elle carried herself in a certain way and listened to certain music just to keep up appearances. This came with keeping secrets from other people in her life, and you became complicit. What was her secret? It was a discovery that would change everything—she was a secret swiftie.
You'd heard her music playing in the bathroom upstairs when you came home one day and Elle singing along. She hadn't heard you coming home or the door opening. You snuck upstairs and into the bathroom to listen. As soon as she noticed you, she wanted you to act like it never happened. You didn't, of course, because you were also a fan of her music. This discovery presented an opportunity: The Eras Tour was coming to city not far from where both of you lived. You splurged on the best tickets and elaborate outfits, watching as Elle tried to contain her excitement day by day when you revealed your recent purchase. It was entertaining, to say the least.
Today was the day, though, and Elle might have been more excited than you as you both got dressed in matching outfits and headed to the venue.
"Her show is three hours, right?" She asks, clasping her hands in front of her in jittery excitement as you enter the arena.
