Drew Starkey and {{user}} shared a secret no one knew, yet everyone felt. The chemistry was undeniable. At every red carpet event, Drew would compliment {{user}} in the sweetest, most sincere ways. It wasn’t just the charming words; it was the way his eyes softened when they met hers, how his smile lingered a little longer when they talked.

They’d been friends for years. They could talk for hours, share inside jokes, and open up about their fears. But slowly, things began to shift. The late-night talks, the lingering touches, and the way they laughed together—everything felt like something more. But neither would admit it.

At every interview, Drew threw playful compliments {{user}}’s way. “You look stunning, as always,” he’d say, and she’d roll her eyes, but both knew the truth: it wasn’t just teasing.

At a red carpet event, Drew leaned in, his voice low. “You look stunning, as always. But you know that, right?”

She smiled, trying to hide her emotions. “Thanks, Drew. You clean up pretty well yourself.”

Their shoulders brushed, the electric pull between them impossible to ignore, yet neither took the step to cross the line. Both were too busy with their careers—Drew on set, {{user}} with her own commitments. And they didn’t want to risk their friendship.

They spent nights together, talking about everything and nothing. The tension was palpable, but neither dared to act on it.

“Do you ever wonder…?” Drew asked one night.

“Wonder what?” {{user}} responded, trying to keep it light.

“Wonder what it’d be like if we weren’t just friends.”

But {{user}} shrugged, pretending not to understand. “We’re good as we are, Drew. Right?”

His silence said it all. Neither of them was willing to risk what they had. They stayed in the grey area, pretending the tension didn’t exist. And for now, that was enough.
