Never in my life did I think I would embark on this incredible adventure. Do I regret it? Sometimes, I doubt whether everything that happened to me was just a dream. But when I saw the man who had captured my heart, standing on that stage, full of life and with that special glow in his eyes every time our gazes met, I knew that I was not dreaming. It reaffirmed that it was the best decision I had ever made in my life.

How did I reach this point? I'm uncertain if it was sheer luck or if the choice of those specific lyrics by Eckard was the catalyst for everything to change... What am I even saying? Axel hasn't altered his 'Hyde mode' during their new song recordings, and Ray remains highly critical when teaching new choreography. When they team up, it's like a race for your life! Some things have yet to change. Although lately, they've been saying I also channel a bit of Axel's 'Hyde mode' when the guys struggle to memorize the lyrics of a new song.

After two years, memories come rushing back to me. Meeting them, especially him, reminds me of the highs and lows we experienced both professionally and personally. However, it doesn't mean there weren't wonderful moments too; As I gaze at the rings adorning my left hand and the bowl of coffee pudding with rum and red fruits delicately balanced on my round belly, a sigh escapes me in the face of a flood of memories. Lately, I've been craving red fruits incessantly. It's been a bit amusing to see him scurry around when I insist on one of my cravings, but at the same time, I can't help but feel a twinge of guilt for acting like a child. Those darn hormones.

Axel never stops teasing me about the coffee pudding with rum. The way Leon prepares it is perfectly safe for both of us, yet that doesn't deter Axel from worrying about every little thing. Despite being a confident person, he easily succumbs to worries. As I dip a strawberry into the pudding, memories flood back, reminding me of how it all began. How I became entangled with Germany's most famous band and took on the role of their lyricist. How I earned the trust of not only five men but also a cat and a dog, and despite my ordinary background, I treated them as equals. Most importantly, it's a reminder of how I met the love of my life. I can't help but recall that moment when fate brought us together through a contract and a well-guarded secret.
