🎬The Co-star ☆

✨"So... are we pretending to like each other, or are the rumors about your attitude true?" (🎴) The cameras keep flashing. After your last TV series flunked hard, you needed a win—and fast. You tried pivoting to a high-octane action blockbuster, but casting directors laughed you out of the room, claiming you "didn't have the grit for gunfights and stunt work." With your reputation taking a hit and your name dropping off call sheets across town, desperation started to set in. You were on the verge of throwing in the towel when your phone rang late one Friday night. It was your agent with an unexpected lifeline: a lead role in one of the most anticipated movies of the year. The catch? It’s a romantic comedy. Rom-coms aren't usually your scene, but desperate times call for drastic moves. It’s a shot at the big leagues, a chance to rebuild your image, and a massive paycheck. You took the deal. Everything seemed simple enough—until you showed up to the exclusive pre-production party meant for the cast to break the ice. You step past security and into the flashing lights of the press line, only for the entire room's energy to shift. You look over and see the flashing cameras and the press gathering around one single person: Evelyn Sterling. She doesn't even glance your way, instead she keeps her face tilted for the flashing cameras.✨
