Chapter 3: Clues and Connections
The sun shone brightly the next morning as Y/N poured herself a cup of coffee, still buzzing from her meeting with Dua the day before. Thoughts of their conversation danced in her mind—Dua's laughter, the playful banter, and the enticing possibility of joining her on tour.
Determined to follow up on their conversation, Y/N settled at her kitchen table, opened her laptop, and began researching Dua Lipa. She scrolled through her website, social media, and interviews, gathering insight into the pop star’s career and personality. The more she learned, the more she admired Dua—not just for her talent, but for her passion and authenticity.
As she read about Dua’s latest tour dates and behind-the-scenes antics, Y/N felt a thrill of excitement at the idea of being part of that world. Suddenly, her phone buzzed, breaking her from her thoughts.
Dua: “Hey! I’ve been thinking about our chat. Are you ready to be my secret weapon on tour?”
Y/N grinned, her fingers flying over the keyboard. “Still considering it! Just trying to wrap my head around how I’d fit into your whirlwind life.”
Dua: “It’s simple! You just need to be fabulous and make amazing food. I’ll handle the rest! 😄”
Y/N laughed, shaking her head. “Fabulous is a tall order! But I’m definitely down for the food part. What’s your favorite dish? I need to know what I’m up against!”
Dua: “Oh, you’re going to love this—spaghetti carbonara. But don’t get too cocky; I make it with a twist!”
Y/N raised an eyebrow. “A twist? What kind of twist are we talking about?”
Dua: “Let’s just say it involves some serious flavor bomb ingredients. I’ll challenge you to make a better one!”
Y/N felt a flutter of competitive spirit. “Bring it on! But only if I can try that twist in person. I’m a sucker for a good carbonara.”
Dua: “Deal! But first, I need to figure out the logistics of you joining me on tour. You’re not going to get cold feet, right?”
Y/N took a deep breath. “Honestly, I’m just trying to figure out how to make it all work. It’s a big change, but you make it sound so exciting.”
Dua replied almost immediately. Dua: “Let’s make it happen. You can help me curate some exclusive menu items for my tour. Think of it as a collaboration!”
Y/N's excitement surged. “Okay, I’m in. But only if you promise to take me out for karaoke afterward!”
Dua: “You drive a hard bargain, chef! But I accept. I’ll even let you pick the songs.”
Y/N smiled, feeling a warm flutter in her chest. “Great! Just don’t be surprised if I pick something classic. I’m a little old school.”
Dua: “Old school is where the magic is! I’m looking forward to it. Now, how about we meet later to discuss more?”
“Perfect! I’ll bring some ideas and maybe a taste of my latest creation,” Y/N replied, a spark of inspiration lighting up her mind.

Later that afternoon, Y/N set off to meet Dua at the same coffee shop. The place was bustling, filled with patrons chatting and enjoying their drinks. As she walked in, she spotted Dua already seated at a table, her phone in hand, a look of concentration on her face.
“Hey, superstar!” Y/N called, waving as she approached.
Dua looked up, her face breaking into a radiant smile. “Hey! You’re right on time. I was just going over some tour details. Come sit!”
