The lights were bright against the studio walls as Jenna Ortega and Emma Myers sat side by side, facing the cameras and the expectant crowd. Emma shifted in her seat with an excited energy, her pastel outfit and cheerful smile giving her the same glow as her character Enid. Every time she answered a question, her hands moved animatedly, her laugh quick and contagious.

Jenna sat in contrast, dressed in black, posture sharp, expression calm to the point of severity. Her eyes carried the same weight as Wednesday Addams, dark and unbothered, her words quick and dry, cutting through the interviewer’s questions like a blade.

They had been asked about the success of the show, about their favorite moments on set, about their chemistry on screen. Everything was going smoothly until the interviewer leaned forward with a teasing grin and asked, “So do you guys like each other?”

The studio fell into a sudden hush. Emma turned her head, her smile faltering just enough to show the blush creeping into her cheeks. Jenna met her gaze, her eyes steady and unreadable. The cameras leaned in closer as if they too were holding their breath.

“Yeah we do,” Jenna said in a bored tone, as if the question was obvious and hardly worth her time.
