Millie closes the news app on her phone and opens snapchat, hoping for a distraction of something other than her own life as told by unknowing media stooges but the first thing she sees is a news segment with her face plastered as the cover of the story. Her thumb hovers over the story before landing apprehensively on the screen, starting the video of a woman spinning her report on Finn and Millie.

"As production for the fifth and final season of Stranger Things heats up, so does young love. According to sources close to the cast of Stranger Things, two couples on the show have taken their love off-screen. Caleb Mclaughlin, who's twenty one,  and Sadie Sink, twenty, who play Lucas and Max on the hit show, are said to be dating since last spring while twenty-year-old, Finn Wolfhard  and  Nineteen-year-old Millie Bobby Brown, playing Mike and his superpowered girlfriend Eleven, are said to have been dating since last fall. There is still no word yet on whether our reporting of an official Fillie relationship back in 2020 was accurate although our source insists that they were indeed together then, as well as now, and suffered a messy break-up. How they ended up back together is the real question. What has changed in their dynamic to make them think they will last now? As the rocky couple navigates their renewed relationship, we will be happy to bring you the most up-to-date and accurate information.

Millie frustradedly stows her phone in her lap and returns to her breakfast of over-easy eggs, buttered toast and fresh cut honeydew melon. Every Saturday morning, Finn makes her a delicious breakfast and, when it is warm enough outside, they eat together on the back porch, overlooking the pool and large, lusciously green property beyond it. It is a particularly beautiful morning with enough clouds in the sky to make it so the sun isn't blinding them and warm enough now in March that they only need a light jacket to feel comfortable in the elements.

Millie had been having a great morning so she doesn't know why she took it upon herself to read what the tabloids are spreading about her and Finn. Maybe it's to fulfill some dark need to know what the world is saying about her, but if she's learned anything from working in this industry for over ten years, she knows that going down that rabbit hole is the least productive thing she can possibly do. Still, she finds herself doing it from time to time and whenever she goes on snapchat, which is rare, there always seems to be a DailyMail story made just for her. Almost every time, she taps on it.  And almost every time, she regrets it.

Her face must show her self-inflicted inner turmoil because when Finn takes his seat next to her with his own plate of food, he immediately comments on what he somehow knows she is upset about.

"You been reading about yourself again?" He asks, placing a glass of orange juice in front of her before sipping coffee from his mug.

"Thank you, and no." She says then takes an angry bite of her toast.

"Really?" He deadpans, not believing her at all.

She side-eyes him. Damn him for knowing her so well. Not only does he always know what she is feeling, he always seems to know why she is feeling it, too. She finishes her bite and swallows, "Okay, I may have read one or two articles on. . .us."
