The door opened, and Taylor Swift, dressed in comfortable loungewear, greeted Zoe with a warm smile.

"Hey," Taylor said, pulling Zoe into a tight hug. "I missed you."

Zoe returned the hug, burying her face in Taylor's shoulder. "I missed you too," she murmured, the stress of the day instantly melting away in Taylor's embrace. She lifted her head, eyes sparkling as she held up the DVD and chocolates. "Brought something to make movie night extra special."

Taylor took the items from Zoe and laughed, feigning suspicion. "You didn't go to the trouble of buying my favorite chocolates from that bakery in Brooklyn, did you?"

"Maybe. And wait till you see what movie I brought."

Taylor shut the door behind them and led Zoe into the living room, where a cozy setup awaited. Pillows and blankets were spread on the floor in front of the TV, and an assortment of snacks was laid out on the coffee table.

"You really know the way to my heart. So, what cinematic masterpiece did you choose for tonight's entertainment?"

"I thought since we're in a romantic mood," Zoe began, settling down next to Taylor, "we should watch that rom-com you've been talking about for ages. 'Love at first Espresso,' or something like that."

Taylor's eyes widened in surprise. "You actually remembered the name of that corny movie I mentioned?"

"Of course I did," Zoe gently nudging Taylor's shoulder. "I always listen to your rambling, even when you think I'm not."

Taylor chuckled, touched that Zoe paid attention to her ramblings about movies and random interests. "Alright, I'm impressed. You sure know how to score points."

They both got comfy, Zoe snuggling up next to Taylor. She grabbed the remote and started the movie, the screen coming alive with the opening credits.

"Here we go. Let the rom-com cheesiness begin."

"Are you sure about this, Jake?" The actress said to the male lead, her voice trembling.

The male lead, played by the handsome heartthrob, looked conflicted. "I don't know, Sarah. I just.... I need some time to figure things out."

Zoe snuggled closer to Taylor, her eyebrows slightly furrowed in confusion.

"I don't get it. Why is he doubting their relationship so much now? Weren't they just confessing their love a few scenes ago?"

"It's a classic rom-com thing. They always throw in a conflict to keep the tension going. But don't worry, they'll get their happily ever after in the end, I promise."

"I hope so," Zoe said, wrapping her arms around Taylor. "This is starting to stress me out a bit. I just want them to be together and happy."

On the screen, the actress looked heartbroken as the male lead walked away, leaving her alone in the rain.

The emotional scene was interrupted by the sound of Zoe laughing.

"Hey, look, It's cliche number three. The rainy argument. Oh my god, this movie is so stereotypical."

"Wait, are you actually crying?"

Taylor sniffed and quickly tried to laugh it off. "What? No. Yeah, I'm definitely not crying. Shut up."

But Zoe could see right through Taylor's act. She shifted closer, wrapping an arm around her.

"Oh my God, you are crying. You're actually crying over a cheesy rom-com. This is priceless, I'm sorry for laughing."
