I felt my chest tighten, his words were warm, easing the last of my worries and I didn’t feel nervous anymore. “Thank you,” I whispered, leaning up to kiss him. “I couldn’t have done this without you.”

I approached the mic stand, taking a deep breath to steady myself. “Wow,” I began, the sound of my voice sending another wave of cheers through the crowd.

Soon the revenue started rolling in. Brand deals and sponsorships and live
performance offers, royalties, my streaks sky rocketed. I was riding on my dream, but what I loved the most was the feeling of being on the stage, and being supported by the man who I love the most. My Daniel.
