---------------------------------------
Asteria Iridessa Vale has spent most of her life training herself to stay composed. In the cage she is known for her precision and fearlessness, and outside of it she has learned how to smile for cameras and pretend she is not exhausted by everyone's expectations. Her engagement to Julian Marc Emerson is supposed to prove that everything in her life is stable and mapped out. The truth is that stability has never felt this heavy.
When Asteria meets Sabrina Carpenter, the shift is almost instant. Sabrina is bright in this effortless way that makes people feel safe around her. She is funny and warm and observant, and she has this quiet ability to make Asteria forget she is supposed to be performing a version of herself. Their connection starts small, something soft and unexpected, the kind of feeling that sneaks up on you before you realize it has already settled in your chest.
Asteria begins to notice how different she feels when she is around Sabrina. She laughs easier. She breathes easier. She feels understood in ways she did not know she was missing. And slowly she starts questioning the life she is living, the engagement that feels more like an obligation than a partnership, and the future everyone else has decided for her.
The problem is that none of this is simple. Loving Sabrina would mean choosing honesty over comfort, and Asteria has never been good at letting herself be vulnerable. Yet every moment with her makes pretending harder, and Asteria begins to wonder if the life she wants has been waiting just outside her reach all along.
