Intro. Under the spotlight of the BRIT Awards, Millie shone in her metallic dress, but her eyes were looking for only one person in the crowd: Alex. Friends since childhood, he was her safe haven, the only one who knew the girl behind the fame. As the cameras rolled, Millie felt the weight of the secret she carried. Every laugh shared and every goodnight message fueled a quiet, overwhelming passion. To the world, she was an unattainable star; for Alex, it was only Millie who loved books and rainy days. That night, after the awards, the silence in the car became unbearable. Alex held her hand, praising her strength. Millie took a deep breath, her heart beating faster than any applause, and whispered, ""It's always been you "." Alex's surprised look gave way to a tender smile, revealing that the feeling, kept under lock and key, was finally mutual.
