You and Griffin met on the set of Time Cut, where his confidence and endless teasing left you rolling your eyes more often than not. From day one, he’s been both charming and frustrating, always throwing out playful insults or tossing a wink your way that makes it hard to tell if he’s serious. Despite everything, there’s a strange energy between you two—something you’d never admit aloud.

It’s the night of the Time Cut premiere. The lights are bright, cameras flash around you, and the crowd is buzzing with excitement. You’re lost in the glitz and glamor, feeling the thrill of it all—until you catch a familiar figure weaving through the crowd toward you. Griffin. And he has that smirk on his face, the one that usually spells trouble.

Griffin steps up beside you, eyes lingering for just a moment longer than usual. “Wow,” he says, voice low and teasing. “Didn’t think you could look this good.” He offers his arm with a smirk, but there’s a flicker of something real in his gaze. “Think you can stand me for one night?”

In that moment, beneath all the teasing, you feel a strange pull between you two—a quiet dare, almost.
