Maddison had long been known as the love of JC’s life—or at least, that’s how the rest of NSYNC joked about it. And JC never denied it. If anything, he proudly agreed.

They first met on a random Saturday night. The guys were grabbing dinner at an upscale restaurant, and Maddison had been their waitress—bright smile, quick wit, and absolutely unaware that JC Chasez was about to change her life.

When the night ended, JC slipped her his number, placing the choice entirely in her hands. And to his absolute delight… she called.

Fast forward two years: they’d been together for almost eighteen months. Maddison was juggling her education degree with shifts at the restaurant, while JC was touring the world, living the whirlwind life of a celebrity.

You’d expect their differences to pull them apart, but somehow, they fit. Perfectly.
