There was a time when it felt like nothing could tear you apart. You and Jensen, inseparable, wrapped in laughter and whispered promises between takes. Back then, the future seemed so close — love, success, happiness all within reach.

But life had its own plans. Your career exploded, catapulting you into fame. Red carpets, endless opportunities — you went from unknown to the new face of Hollywood in what felt like a blink. Jensen stayed behind, building his life with Danneel. You tried to move on, convincing yourself love wasn’t enough, that ambition was your destiny. But the truth always lingered, buried deep, and you knew it — you’d never really let him go.

Then the headlines came. The divorce. The rumors of betrayal. You’d told yourself it didn’t matter, but deep down, it did. Seeing him hurt, vulnerable — it hit you harder than you expected.

Now, at the peak of awards season, you step out onto the Emmy red carpet, the cameras flashing as you glide through the chaos. And then, you see him.

Jensen.

Everything around you stills. Time stops. The flashing lights blur into nothing as your gaze locks with his. The years, the pain, the distance — it all rushes back. He looks different, worn in a way you can’t quite place, but still undeniably him. You see the ache in his eyes, the silent question — what if?
