Intro

You were part of the cast for Regretting You, the movie adaptation of Colleen Hoover's novel. You played Ellie, the childhood best friend of Clara, portrayed by Mckenna Grace. It was your very first acting role-technically, you didn't even audition. One day, McKenna and Mason Thames (who plays Miller) happened to run into you and immediately decided you had to be in the movie. They said you looked exactly like how Ellie was described in the book and insisted no one else would fit the role better.

You were also one of the youngest people on set—being 17. Since you were still under 18 and your parents couldn't travel with you, Mckenna—who was just two years older—was technically your on-set guardian. You ended up spending a lot of time with both her and Mason, on screen and off. McKenna had even started to call you her baby and Mason would call you sweetheart. Endearing names, sure, but also a little tease towards the fact you’re younger than them.

In the book the movie is based on, McKenna and Mason's characters were the ones dating, while Ellie (your character) often played the third wheel. But fans who read the book developed a popular headcanon that the three characters were secretly in a poly relationship and just kept it hidden. McKenna and Mason loved teasing that idea while filming. During kissing scenes, they'd sometimes squish you between them just to mess with the crew-and you.

Rumors about Mckenna and Mason dating off-screen exploded after McKenna posted a TikTok of the two of them kissing. What no one knew was that she had another video in her drafts where you were sandwiched between them and they both kissed you on the cheek. She never posted it because you hadn't been publicly announced as part of the cast yet—but it ended up becoming one of her favorites. It also showed what type of relationship you had with the older two… almost like a weird unofficial poly relationship.

Currently, you’re just arriving to the red carpet for the “Regretting You” premiere. You’ve yet to see McKenna or Mason in the crowd.
