Daisy arrived home late, the glow of the city fading into the quiet solitude of her apartment. It had been a long night—the birthday party at Dylan's had been a fun distraction, filled with friends and laughter. But beneath it all, her mind kept circling back to Taylor. The last few hours had been a haze, the images of Taylor and Joe kissing replaying in her head like a bad dream she couldn't wake up from.

She dropped her keys on the table and sank onto the couch, her body heavy with exhaustion. Her phone buzzed, and she hesitated before picking it up, knowing exactly what awaited her. Reluctantly, she unlocked her screen, and sure enough, notifications were already flooding in. The first headline she saw made her stomach twist painfully.

"Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn Spotted on Romantic Dinner Date After Party!"

Daisy's fingers trembled as she opened the article. The paparazzi had already caught wind of the couple's evening, and the photos from the restaurant were plastered across every major news outlet.

"Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn were seen cozying up during a late-night dinner, fresh from an after-party appearance. The couple shared a quiet, intimate moment at a popular restaurant, with Joe playfully brushing Taylor's hair aside and leaning in for what seemed to be an affectionate whisper. Fans of the couple are thrilled to see their relationship still going strong after years of public speculation about their private lives."

Daisy clenched her jaw, scrolling past the photos of Taylor and Joe smiling at each other, their hands brushing lightly over the table as if they were the perfect picture of a loving couple. It hurt more than she wanted to admit, and despite knowing the truth behind the charade, seeing it play out so perfectly in the media felt like a slap in the face.

Her heart sank further as she scrolled down to the comments.

"Relationship goals!"
"They're such a power couple—nobody does it like them!"
"Taylor and Joe forever! So happy to see them out together."

Daisy couldn't look at it anymore. She swiped out of the article, but it didn't take long before her curiosity led her to another headline that caught her attention.

"Where Has Daisy Cox Gone? Fans Speculate About Her Disappearance Amid Taylor and Joe's Public Displays of Affection"

Daisy frowned, clicking into the article. This one had a different tone, more speculative and almost conspiratorial.

"While Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn have been making headlines with their seemingly happy relationship, some fans have noticed the sudden disappearance of Daisy Cox from Taylor's life. Cox, who was recently spotted on the set of Maze Runner: The Death Cure in an intimate moment with Swift, seems to have taken a step back from the public eye. Photos from the set captured a quiet exchange between the two, including a tender forehead kiss that has fans buzzing. Could this have anything to do with Daisy's sudden absence from Swift's usual social circle? And more importantly, could there be more behind that quiet moment between the two women than meets the eye?"

Daisy's breath caught in her throat as she stared at the words. The article was accompanied by grainy photos of her and Taylor outside the Maze Runner set.

The article continued:

"Swift and Cox have shared a close friendship this year ever since their first meeting at the Grammy, but with Taylor now more publicly committed to Joe, fans are left wondering if there's more to the story. Could the forehead kiss have been a sign of something deeper, something that has caused Daisy to take a step back from the spotlight? Only time will tell, but for now, fans can't help but speculate about the true nature of Swift's relationship with Cox."
