On our anniversary, he'd nudge me to update more, claiming he was doing it for the fans, even gathering loads of materials for my choice.
I thought it was his way of showing love.
Turns out, I was just recording their lives.
By coincidence, they saw the aurora, and by chance, I drew it.
Turns out I was just part of their script.
But thankfully, it's all ending now.
It was supposed to be about my comics, but thanks to James's status, I barely got any camera time.
The host, hoping to spike the show's ratings, dug up old dirt, "I heard Gracy's original comics stopped updating. Is it because our heroine is too caught up in happiness, unsure of what scene to draw next?"
The camera zoomed in on me and I froze, speechless.
Seeing the audience tuning out, the host swiftly panned away.
"Everyone knows the hero of the Gracy's comics is Mr. Bennett. How about it, Mr. Bennett, who do you picture as the heroine?"
James smiled with no hesitation, "Do I even need to answer? Lily has always been my ideal leading lady."
The director wasn't letting this slide, quickly flashing a cue card.
The host upped the ante, "So, James, are you indirectly confirming that Gracy's work is a testament to your love?"
James watched me crumple the new book's cover.
A hint of a smirk, and he playfully responded, "Absolutely, we owe it all to Grace."
As they said this, they intertwined their fingers and faced the camera. The identical diamond rings on their fingers sparkled conspicuously.
