Backstage, I sat on a metal folding chair, waiting for my cue to join Taylor in front of two-thousand screaming fans. We had decided to perform our first song together, and I had insisted that it be Enchanted, my favorite song she had ever written.

As I waited, I pulled out my phone. Logging into my email, I found a recent message from Juliana. Hey chief. How are things going?

I smiled and typed a quick response.

Hey princess. Couldn’t be better. :)

As I hit send, I couldn’t help but realize what an adventure this had been. Here we were, two unknown individuals, and somehow we end up winning the hearts of the most famous people on the planet. Now Juliana was happily situated in California, and my band was skyrocketing to the top of the charts.

How did this happen?

Then it hit me.

I owe all this happiness to one person, one girl who inspired me not to give up on my dreams. One girl who invited me to join her on the moon, where anything is possible.

I typed another email to Juliana, short and sweet: Thank you. For everything.

Then I heard Taylor on stage, giving me my cue. “I’ll spend forever wondering if you knew, I was enchanted to meet you.”

The crowd went wild. I gripped my microphone tight, took a deep breath, and stepped forward to join my girlfriend in the spotlight.
