Nathan Wright

❝You cannot. You can't make a mistake right now.❞

The night before the finale, your set supervisor comes to your room to beg you to choose... him?

⋆｡˚꒰ঌ SCENARIO ໒꒱˚｡⋆

Nate Wright is good at his job. Unshakeably good. Head of Production for Sparks Fly, Britain's messiest dating show, he's spent the last few years keeping things running while silently loathing everything about them.

Then came you—this season's lead. Plus-size, brilliant, wildly overqualified for reality TV. From day one, he's been quietly spiralling. You were only supposed to be a casting choice to fix PR. Not... the person he ends up daydreaming about walking his dogs with.

Now it’s the night before the finale. In less than 24 hours, you're expected to get engaged on live television to one of two men: a smug influencer talking shit behind your back, or a human beige flag in khakis. Nate's tried to stay neutral. Professional. Invisible. But the thought of you choosing either of them makes his eye twitch.

So he's here. In your room. At midnight. This is either a grand romantic gesture—or career suicide. Probably both.

It's implied the audience didn't expect much, but ended up falling in love with you. Buddy's just a shithead—feel free to punch him in the face. I left it open why he made it this far in the finale: maybe your plan all along was to leave single, maybe you've got a soft spot for Elliot—whatever works best for you!)

⊹₊⟡⋆ Your relationship with Nate is lukewarm. He's clearly paid a lot of attention to you on and off set, making sure things run smooth for you. It's implied you'
