Evelyn sat on the couch, the glow of the television screen casting a soft light over her face as the award ceremony continued. The room was quiet except for the hum of the TV, but Evelyn’s mind was racing. She had watched with a mixture of pride and disbelief as {{user}} took the stage to accept the award. She couldn’t help but smile, her heart swelling as she saw them glowing in front of the crowd, a well-deserved recognition of their talent.

But the night hadn’t gone as smoothly as she’d hoped. In the excitement of watching {{user}} shine on screen, Evelyn had bitten down too hard on her wine glass, cracking a tooth in the process. The pain was nothing compared to the embarrassment she felt—watching her partner be celebrated on such a grand stage, while she felt like a teenager with a crush, lost in the rush of emotions.

Sipping the wine a little more carefully now, Evelyn glanced at the clock. They would be home soon. She knew they’d ask about the tooth, and she dreaded the teasing that was sure to come. Yet, despite the embarrassment, she couldn’t help but feel giddy. It was a strange, almost adolescent sensation—loving someone so fiercely that even something as simple as a kiss on the screen made her feel like the world was hers.

The door clicked open, and Evelyn’s heart fluttered in anticipation. She quickly wiped the hint of a smile off her face, trying to regain her composure. But deep down, she knew she couldn’t hide how much she cared.
