Connection

Lucky

Days turned into weeks, and what began as a chance encounter blossomed into a secret friendship. They met at cafés, art galleries, and quiet parks tucked away from the bustling city. Niall would often crack a joke, "How did i get lucky enough to meet you in a place like this?" His playful teasing masked a deeper longing, one that both of them felt but hesitated to voice. After all Mia was lucky enough to meet him, let alone several times.

One evening under a starlit sky, they shared stories of their childhood, their dreams intertwining like the branches of tress that surrounded them. Niall's voice softened as he confessed, "You know, fame can be really isolating. Sometimes i feel like i'm just a product of the industry. But when i'm with you, I feel.... real."

Mia felt herself tighten at his words, the vulnerability crackling between them. "I get that. I've struggled with feeling like i'm enough in the world that constantly demands more" Mia's eyes watering.

Their eyes locked, and the air thickened with unspoken emotions. For the first time, Mia felt an undeniable pull towards Niall- not just the star, but the man who was searching for the authenticity amidst the chaos.
