Sofia stood just off-camera, arms folded lightly as she watched Julián handle the live broadcast with his usual charm. The event was nothing special - a small town fair, colorful booths lined with vendors, and families milling about in the golden afternoon light. But watching him now, microphone in hand, she couldn't help but feel a swell of pride.
He was magnetic, effortlessly capturing the energy of the crowd and making it seem as though the entire town was tuned in, hanging onto his every word. It was moments like this that reminded her why she had fallen for him in the first place. His natural charisma, his ability to make even the most mundane event feel important.
Her gaze softened as she watched him finish his segment with a warm smile, thanking the viewers for turning in. Then, in a quick, almost imperceptible moment, he flashed a wink - not just for the camera, but to her. Her lips curved into a small smile, her heart doing an unexpected flip.
It wasn't the wink itself, though she always found it charming. No, it was what the wink represented. For months, they had kept their relationship under wraps, careful to maintain a professional distance at work, never letting their affection spill over into the public eye. But now, with everything out in the open, they didn't have to hide anymore. That tiny, playful wink was a subtle reminder of their freedom.
