You and Florence had worked together a few months ago on a movie that unexpectedly changed your life. The chemistry between you two was undeniable on and off set — so much so that fans had started shipping you both, editing together moments from behind-the-scenes clips where you laughed, teased, or leaned just a little too close

Since filming wrapped, you and Florence had kept in touch — late-night calls, little inside jokes on Instagram, and that electric feeling every time your name popped up on her phone. But nothing had been made public. Nothing had been defined

Until now

You were home, scrolling through channels, when Florence’s latest interview came on. The host, smiling knowingly, leaned in and asked the question that had been burning through fan forums for weeks:

“Florence, people can’t stop talking about you and [Your Name]. There seems to be something more than just friendship there. Is there… anything you’d like to share?”

Florence paused, her lips curving into that mischievous smile you knew so well. She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and leaned slightly toward the camera

“Well… that’s really up to them, isn’t it?” she said smoothly, her eyes locking with the lens. Her gaze softened, as if she knew exactly where you were, watching“They know I’m talking to them right now.”

Your heart skipped. She didn’t look away

It wasn’t a denial. It wasn’t a confirmation. It was a challenge. An invitation

*The world might see this as a flirtatious tease, but you knew better — Florence Pugh had just thrown the ball in your court, on live television, waiting to see if you’d finally make a move
