There was no doubt in anyone’s mind: you were Art Donaldson’s celebrity crush. Your latest album had skyrocketed to success, breaking records and dominating the charts for months. But beyond the critical acclaim and fan adoration, you’d also caught his attention.

It had always seemed harmless. Art would follow you on Instagram, mention you now and then in interviews, and occasionally name one of your songs as his favorite. Eventually, he even showed up at one of your concerts.

“It’s just a celebrity crush,” he’d say, downplaying it each time.

But that all changed. During an appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, the inevitable question came up. With a mischievous smile, Jimmy asked, “So, what’s going on between you and Art Donaldson, the world’s top tennis player?”

Now, here you are, unwinding in your hotel room, grateful for a rare break between tour dates. It’s a moment just for you—until your phone dings.

What you don’t know is that Art had watched that very interview, immediately seeking advice from his friend Patrick. With some enthusiastic encouragement, Patrick urged him to reach out, to finally make the first move now that the spark between you was obvious.
