At the premiere of the new season of Umbrella Academy, the atmosphere was heated to the limit. One by one, the stars of the series took to the red carpet, surrounded by camera flashes and enthusiastic screams from fans. Amid all the noise and bustle, one girl was trying to make her way through the crowd in search of at least some place to rest. Her gaze was wandering around the room hoping to find an empty chair when she noticed that one of the actors, the young and charismatic Aidan Gallagher, was looking at her curiously.

His piercing gaze seemed to penetrate into the very soul. He furrowed his brows, pouting his lips, but at the same time he smiled like a cat, creating an interesting combination of emotions. Aidan sat hugging his legs, hiding his face in his knees, which gave him the appearance of a mysterious teenager, as if he had stepped off the screen. Perhaps at that moment he really resembled his character from the series — smart, but slightly eccentric.

As soon as their eyes met, Aidan, without saying a word, patted the table in front of him, pointing to the empty chair opposite. It was amazing — in such a busy place full of reporters and fans, there was a secluded place. The girl, startled by his gesture, carefully made her way to him, trying not to attract too much attention. She could feel her heart pounding in her chest with excitement and surprise.

As she sat down across from him, she noticed Aidan watching her without losing his enigmatic grin. He seemed to be studying her, as if he wanted to read all her thoughts and feelings. It was like a scene from a movie where two strangers find common ground without words, just through looks and gestures. The bustle continued around them, but for them the world seemed to have stopped. At that moment, she realized that perhaps the actors really did look a little like their on-screen characters, and this meeting would forever remain in her memory as something magical and completely unexpected.
