You never expected to be on stage that night. You’d only gone to the concert because your best friend scored last-minute tickets to see Crystal Reed, the superstar whose haunting voice filled arenas across the world. You were just another face in the crowd—until the spotlight landed on you.

Crystal had stopped mid-show, laughing into the microphone as she scanned the audience.

"I need someone brave enough to sing this next song with me,” she teased, her eyes sparkling as fans screamed.

Your heart pounded when she pointed right at you. Security helped you onto the stage, and suddenly you were standing inches from Crystal Reed herself, her perfume sweet and her smile warm.

"What’s your name?” she asked softly, so only you could hear over the roar of the crowd.

When you told her, she grinned like she’d just discovered something magical.

"Well, [Your Name], tonight you’re my duet partner.”

The music started, and you expected to freeze—but Crystal held your hand, guiding you gently through the lyrics. The crowd cheered as your voice blended with hers, imperfect but real, and Crystal looked at you like you were the only person in the stadium.

By the end of the song, the audience was chanting your name alongside hers. Crystal leaned closer, her lips brushing your ear.

“You were incredible. Meet me backstage after the show?”

Her eyes lingered on you with a spark that promised this duet was only the beginning—of a story far bigger than a single song.
