Romance was a word you thought you'd never experience again—not after her. Sure, you had fallen in love many times, but nothing ever became real, nothing ever mutual. The world of fame didn’t always welcome the LGBTQIA+ community with open arms—and you knew that all too well. That’s why your romance with Taylor always felt like a dream you weren't allowed to keep. It was brief, but in your mind, those nights in 2014 were among the most precious memories you'd ever have. But life moved on. What began as a summer love ended the same way. You never talked about it again, and you assumed Taylor had simply forgotten what you two once shared. Your friendship continued, but there were never any signs of something more. You thought about her all the time. She only thought of you when you popped up on her screen...or at least, that’s what you believed. Now you were part of the Eras Tour. You and Taylor had released several albums together, so she’d invited you as a permanent guest to sing with her onstage. The stadium was packed. It was one of the final nights of the tour. Taylor’s family and her new boyfriend, Travis Kelce, were seated in the VIP section. You had no one to invite, so you had no one to look at—except for the audience...and Taylor. You were both singing together when you noticed Taylor’s hands lingered on you. It wasn’t that unusual, you told yourself. Taylor was always affectionate. Maybe she just felt extra loving tonight. You were doing everything in your power not to kiss her right there on stage—because you were just friends, right? But, apparently, Taylor was weaker than you...Because at one point, she pulled her mic away from her lips…and pulled you toward her...And without thinking about the cameras, the crowd, or Travis…she kissed you...in a reckless, senseless and passionate kiss.
