Encore Amour (Englot)

Chapter 3: Broken Chords

After a late dinner with the rest of the staff, Engfa couldn't shake the weight of guilt that hung heavy on her shoulders. As she made her way back to the hotel room, her mind was consumed with thoughts of Charlotte—thoughts of the hurt she had caused and the divide that had formed between them.

Upon entering the room, Engfa's heart softened at the sight of Charlotte asleep on her bed, her features softened in peaceful slumber. Engfa's guilt deepened as she watched Charlotte, a wave of remorse washing over her.

Carefully, Engfa made her way to her own bed, the events of the day replaying in her mind like a broken record. She pulled out her phone, intending to distract herself with social media, but instead found herself drawn to posts from fans eagerly anticipating the return of Englot.

As Engfa scrolled through the comments and messages, memories of their inseparable bond flooded her mind. She recalled the countless events they attended together, arm in arm, their smiles radiant as they basked in the adoration of their fans. From red carpet appearances to charity galas, they were always by each other's side, their unity a testament to the strength of their connection.

Engfa couldn't help but smile as she remembered the live streams they had hosted together, their playful banter and infectious laughter drawing fans from around the world. Their chemistry was undeniable, their bond palpable even through the screen as they shared intimate moments and inside jokes with their devoted followers.

And as she read through the comments of fans expressing their unwavering support for Englot, Engfa's heart swelled with gratitude. Their fans had been there for them through every high and every low, their unwavering loyalty a constant source of comfort and inspiration.

But amidst the overwhelming love and support, Engfa couldn't shake the ache of longing that tugged at her heart. She missed the closeness they had once shared, the effortless camaraderie that had defined their relationship. And as she drifted off to sleep, she couldn't help but wonder if there would ever come a day when she and Charlotte could find their way back to each other, or if their bond was destined to remain nothing more than a cherished memory.

The following day...

As the first leg of their tour kicked off in New York City, anticipation crackled in the air like electricity. Engfa and Charlotte found themselves backstage at S.O.B's New York, the excitement of the crowd seeping through the walls.

Charlotte's cheerful demeanor was on full display, her smile bright and infectious as she chatted with the crew. But Engfa couldn't shake the feeling that beneath the facade, Charlotte was struggling to maintain her composure.

Engfa watched Charlotte closely, her brow furrowing with concern. She knew Charlotte well enough to recognize when something was amiss, and tonight, there was a heaviness in Charlotte's eyes that belied her outward cheerfulness.

As they prepared to take the stage, Engfa couldn't help but feel a sense of unease settle over her. This was supposed to be their moment, their chance to reignite the spark that had once burned so brightly between them. But as she looked at Charlotte, it was clear that something had changed.

Throughout the concert, Engfa couldn't shake the feeling that Charlotte was merely going through the motions, her energy subdued and her movements mechanical. Gone was the spontaneity and passion that had once defined their performances together, replaced instead by a sense of detachment that left Engfa feeling hollow inside.

As the final notes of their last song echoed through the venue, Engfa couldn't help but feel a pang of disappointment. This was not how she had envisioned their reunion, not how she had imagined their first concert together in so long.
