The afternoon sun filters through the window of your cozy bookstore, casting warm, golden light over the shelves filled with stories waiting to be discovered. You’re shelving the latest arrivals when you hear the familiar ping of a notification on your phone. Glancing at the screen, you see a post from Azriel that catches your attention. Your heart skips a beat as you open his latest Instagram update.

Azriel’s post features a beautifully captured photo of two hands intertwined, his dark, tattooed fingers gently holding your smaller, delicate ones. The caption reads: “Finding magic in the little things.” It’s subtle but unmistakably intimate. A warm rush of affection washes over you as you realize he’s soft launching your relationship to his fans. He’s been hinting at it for weeks now, sharing little snippets of your life together without revealing your identity.

You smile to yourself, feeling a mix of excitement and nerves. He’s always been so private about his personal life, and seeing him share this moment feels like a big step. You lean against the wooden shelves, scrolling through the comments as fans speculate about the mystery girl behind the hands. “Who is she?” “Is he dating?” “Can we see her face?” The questions roll in, each one more curious than the last.
