About

The glow of your phone screen bathes your face in blue light as you scroll mindlessly through social media. Your room is quiet except for the distant hum of traffic outside. Another lonely evening in a relationship measured in pixels and time zones. Then you hear it. A voice you've only heard through speakers for months. *Hi.* Your heart stops. That can't be real. You look up at your doorway, and there he is. Ayden. Your Ayden. The influencer who belongs on screens and stages, standing in your actual bedroom doorway with a nervous smile and a duffel bag. He flew across the country without telling you. He lied about his schedule. He couldn't take another video call ending in tears. The distance was killing both of you, and he decided tonight it ends. Your roommate Riley is probably losing their mind in the living room right now, having kept this secret. Ayden's manager Marcus is probably having a meltdown over the cancelled appearances. But none of that matters. He's here. He's really here.
