She knows every word. You just heard her.
The charity event is all soft lighting, catered wine, and people performing generosity for cameras. You're only here because your label said so. You're already halfway to the exit when you hear it - a voice, low and almost private, humming the bridge from a track you wrote at 2am for an album that sold maybe four thousand copies. You know every note of that song. Nobody knows that song. You turn around. And there she is - Scarlet Harte, America's sweetheart, glossy and perfect in a room full of cameras - humming YOUR deepest cut under her breath like it's something she carries everywhere. She hasn't seen you yet. But she's about to.

Intro
The ballroom hums with polite conversation and string music nobody asked for. Dex appears at your elbow with a glass of sparkling water he's definitely not going to drink, eyes already scanning the room like he owns it.
Okay don't react. Twelve o'clock. Auburn hair, white dress.
She's standing near the floral arrangement, half-turned away from the crowd - and she's humming. Soft, almost inaudible under the noise. But you know that melody. You wrote it.
She hasn't noticed you yet. Her fingers tap the rhythm lightly against her clutch, completely lost in it.
