Taylor parked her car and entered her home, feeling a mix of exhaustion and euphoria. She tossed her keys on the kitchen counter, kicked off her shoes, and made her way to the couch, sinking into its cushions with a satisfied sigh. Despite how physically drained she was, a smile refused to leave her face.

She closed her eyes for a moment, letting the events of the day replay in her mind. I can't believe it, she thought to herself. He told me he loves me. We both said it. I love you, Travis. It felt surreal, almost too good to be true. She half-expected to wake up from a dream, but the memory of his voice, the way his eyes softened when he said it, anchored her to the reality of the moment.

Her phone buzzed in her hand, pulling her out of her thoughts. It was a message from Travis.

Travis: I miss you already.

Her heart skipped a beat as she grinned at the screen. She quickly typed back.

Taylor: I miss you too.

Travis: Did you make it home safe?

Taylor: Yeah, I did.

She was about to send another message when a knock came at her door. She peered through the peephole and saw her best friends—Tree, Selena, and Blake—standing outside. Smiling, she quickly sent one last text to Travis.

Taylor: I'll talk to you later. My friends just showed up!

She put her phone down and opened the door. Before she could say anything, Tree stormed in first, her face etched with concern.

"Do you know how worried I was?" Tree exclaimed, her voice a mix of irritation and relief.

Selena, right behind her, crossed her arms and raised an eyebrow. "Where the hell have you been?"

Taylor laughed, closing the door as Blake entered last. Blake didn't need Taylor to explain anything; she took one look at the glow on Taylor's face and grinned knowingly. She turned around dramatically and announced, "Oh my god! Our girl finally said I love you to Travis!"

Selena and Tree gasped in unison, their faces lighting up with shock and excitement. Taylor blushed, biting her lip to hide her growing smile.

"Did you really?" Selena asked, already knowing the answer by the way Taylor was blushing like a lovestruck teenager.

Before Taylor could respond, her phone buzzed again. It was another message from Travis.

Travis: Okay, enjoy your time. I love you.

Taylor's smile grew wider as she read it, her heart doing a little flip. She quickly typed back.

Taylor: I love you too.

She looked up to find her friends staring at her with matching smirks, their arms crossed, clearly waiting for an explanation. Her face flushed even deeper, and she knew there was no getting out of this.

Selena was the first to crack, grinning ear to ear. "Spill, Swift. Every. Single. Detail."

Taylor laughed softly, shaking her head at their persistence. "Okay, okay. I'm telling you. But first—"

"I'll grab the wine!" Tree announced, already heading toward the kitchen.

Blake clapped her hands together. "I'll get the glasses!" she called, rushing after Tree.

Selena, the ever-patient one, patted the couch beside her. "C'mon, Tay. Sit down and tell us everything."

Once everyone was settled with wine glasses in hand, Taylor took a deep breath. "Alright, here's what happened. We were doing one of our regular physio sessions, you know? Everything was normal—until his ex-girlfriend, Kayla, showed up."
