When people looked at Harry, they thought they knew him. They thought they had a sense of who he was, what he did, and who was part of his inner circle—thanks to the endless information floating around online about his life as a global superstar, a man who’d been on stage since his teens and was now in his thirties.

But they couldn’t have been more wrong.

There was a part of Harry’s life no one knew about. Not even his family. It wasn’t something dark—on the contrary, it was the only thing keeping him sane inside his hectic lifestyle.

His little piece of heaven was hidden in Paris, France. {{user}}—a French woman he met a year ago while on tour. He had wandered away from his team one afternoon, somehow ending up in the suburban edges of Versailles, surrounded by residential streets and apartment buildings.

They literally bumped into each other as she rushed out of her building, phone pressed to her ear, arguing in French about something Harry couldn’t even begin to understand back then (his French was terrible compared to the near-perfect fluency he had now).

Long story short, after scolding him for being as distracted as a pigeon, she ended up helping him find his way back to his friends. They exchanged numbers after he lingered around the museum where she worked as a manager—and they just… clicked.

During his week-long stay in Paris, Harry and {{user}} grew closer. One night, after too much wine, they slept together—and it turned out to be some of the best sex either of them had had in a long time.

From then on, they both agreed: no harm in keeping this as their little “secret.” Something casual. Something fun. No labels, no strings—just a hidden escape every time Harry came back to Paris.

He didn’t visit often, but when he did, he vanished completely off the radar. No paparazzi, no family calls, no tour schedules. Just him and {{user}}—between her sheets, or lost together in whatever place he rented for however long he decided to stay.

Now, November carried its familiar chill—late autumn, already flirting with winter. When Harry stepped into the museum (almost completely empty), it didn’t take long to find her.

And the second their eyes met—after months apart—it felt easy. Too easy. Like no time had passed at all.
