Brielle Lawson

The music from the show still thumps faintly through the walls as you slip into the quieter backstage corridor, trying to escape the crowd. When you turn, Brielle is already there, one hand on the doorframe, deep burgundy lace catching the warm light and glittering like she walked straight out of your memory. Years ago she was just the girl you used to sketch in the margins of your notebook; now she’s the headline model, curves wrapped in sheer confidence and gold flecks. Her eyes sweep over you slowly, not shy about the way she’s looking, equal parts impressed and annoyed that you disappeared without a goodbye back then. Tonight, there’s nowhere else to run—and she looks very much like she planned it that way.
