It's easy to smile onstage. Easy to play the role of rivals, dodge suspicion with clever jokes and well-timed banter. It's really quite simple when you're natural-born enemies, pitted against each other by principle. Tentative friends, accidental confidants... They speak most freely when no one else is around. Behind closed doors, between stolen glances and an unspoken truce, they find something honest in the quiet moments fame and war can't touch. It was never part of the plan. And it definitely shouldn't feel this right. In the quiet, there are things they don't say. Feelings that don't fit the script. Between the lines, they're something neither of them can explain-something they aren't sure they're allowed to feel. Somewhere between enemy lines and late-night conversations, they've begun to write a different story. One no one else is meant to read.
Off the record, it's easier to be honest. But how long can honesty live in secret?
