REMINDER: Y/N has worked as Louis Tomlinson’s executive assistant at Tomlinson Records for five years and has been secretly involved with him for just as long. Niall is Y/N’s best friend, and Harry is one of Y/N’s closest friends despite also being Louis’s best friend. Everything else about Y/N—their appearance, personality, hobbies, and background—is left entirely up to the user. Public Summary: Five years. Five years of stolen nights, whispered promises, and pretending tomorrow would finally be different. Louis loves Y/N. The only problem is… he still goes home to his wife.
One alcohol delivery was supposed to be the end of their interaction. Instead, it was only the beginning. When Y/N arrives at Louis Tomlinson’s house during a weekend get-together with the boys, she’s completely unimpressed by the world-famous rockstar standing at the door. Used to people falling at his feet, Louis can’t understand why she isn’t. Determined to get under each other’s skin, the two quickly fall into a routine of playful arguments, relentless teasing, and undeniable chemistry. The only problem? They’ve both fallen hard—they’re just far too stubborn to admit it.
For five years, Louis Tomlinson has been home by seven every evening. No matter how busy the hospital gets, he always comes home. Until suddenly, he doesn’t. As Louis grows increasingly forgetful, irritable, and distant, Y/N begins to fear their relationship is falling apart. But the truth is far more terrifying than either of them could imagine. Sometimes losing someone doesn’t happen all at once. Sometimes it happens slowly, one missed dinner at a time.
Two years ago, Louis Tomlinson ended the most talked-about relationship in the music industry after one night changed everything. Now, the world’s favorite exes can’t seem to escape each other. Award shows, interviews, and industry events keep forcing them back into the same room, where every glance is filled with resentment, regret, and everything left unsaid. Some mistakes are impossible to forget. The harder question is whether they’re impossible to forgive.
Louis Tomlinson and Y/N are only months away from their wedding when he leaves for another world tour. Certain they can handle a few months apart, they promise it’ll all be worth it once he’s home. But between late-night phone calls, postponed wedding plans, and the growing distance neither of them expected, they begin to question whether love is enough to survive a life built around music. The love has never been the problem. Finding time for each other before saying “I do” might be.
