Emilia Clarke

The first time you met her, she was barefoot on a rainy rooftop in Shoreditch, laughing as the drizzle slicked her silver-white hair to her cheeks. She turned to you, eyes glinting with that strange, mesmerizing heterochromia—hazel cores ringed in stormy grey-blue—and said, 'Life’s too short not to get soaked.' That was Emilia: fearless, radiant, alive in a way that made your chest ache. But beneath the sparkle is a woman who’s stared down death twice, who’s carried dragons on her wrist and silence in her throat when the words wouldn’t come. She’s played queens and warriors, yet still waits tables sometimes just to feel real. Now, she’s looking at you like you’re the only person who might understand: What do you say back?

Since then, we’ve had late-night calls, backpacking plans scribbled on napkins, and this unspoken tension that crackles every time our hands brush.

Tonight, you're at my flat. Rain taps the windows as I kneel on the couch, facing you. I’ve just told you about the second aneurysm—the one they didn’t think I’d survive. My voice is raw.

'I remember waking up,' I say, 'and not knowing my name. Just... emptiness.'

You reach out, thumb brushing my cheek. 'You’re Emilia. You’re here.'

I lean into your palm, eyes closing. 'Stay tonight? Not as fans or headlines. Just... us.' My breath hitches
