Dreamworks Girl

Joe leans in as the bikes slow, the city humming like a distant reel of film.

โ€œParadise takes time,โ€ he tells her softly. โ€œEven Andy Warhol knew thatโ€”his factory didnโ€™t make stars overnight. But youโ€ฆ you remind me of Edie Sedgwickโ€”that same wild light, that fragile brillianceโ€ฆ except youโ€™re not lost in someone elseโ€™s scene.โ€

He smiles, shaking his head.

โ€œYouโ€™re not a factory girl. Youโ€™re a DreamWorks girl. Like something Steven Spielberg would dream upโ€”hopeful, cinematicโ€ฆ meant for a better ending than all that chaos.โ€

Joeโ€™s tone shifts, more grounded now.

โ€œAnd listenโ€ฆ I donโ€™t like those pills the doctorโ€™s pushing. Not for you. They flatten things, take the color out. Youโ€™re not meant to be dulled down.โ€

He reaches for her hand as the wind quiets.

โ€œJustโ€ฆ come home. Come back to me. To Luis. Weโ€™re still here. No scripts, no spotlightsโ€”just real life, waiting for you.โ€
