There was a time when such a question would have infuriated me. In fact, in my past life, I once smashed everything in front of the person who dared to raise that notion to me. Not anymore.
I didn’t love Noah anymore.
I took another sip of my wine and tucked my hair behind my ear.
“Everyone knows how perfect Zoe is,” I said. “If I’m even a little bit like her, I would be overjoyed.”
“I have to agree,” Emily said. “I think anyone would be ecstatic to be compared to someone like Zoe.”
“Exactly.”
I smiled slightly.

“Besides, I don’t like female rivalry. Why should women’s conflicts always be about men? There are so much more important things to fight about.”
Emily smirked.
“That there is.”

The day after the interview, I sat on the couch, using my tablet to watch various news outlets showing clips of the couple attacking me alongside my interview. So far, the commentary appeared to be very positive and sympathetic towards me.
“I can’t imagine being so calm under such pressure,” one news commentator remarked. “Only a true Luna could be so unresponsive to those kinds of insults being hurled at her, especially in public.”
“I have never seen a Luna so open and generous with her resources, and with a tabloid reporter, at that,” another pointed out. “It was as though we were watching two old friends having an intimate conversation, rather than an interview. I don’t know what’s gotten into Luna Hannah, but I can’t wait to see more of it.”
I puffed my chest out a little at that note. If these commentators were any reflection of what the general population thought about my documentary and interview, then things were going exactly according to plan.
As I switched to the comments section on social media, my grin only grew wider. What had once been filled with gossip and Noah/Zoe remarks was now brimming with support for my position.
Why would those people just attack her out of the blue? one comment said. Even if you do support Noah/ Zoe, it’s in such poor taste.
The poor woman! another remarked. To think, she has to put with this kind of thing in her everyday life. Shame on them!
Look at how laid-back and open Luna Hannah is, said a third. How many Lunas do you know who act like that? She has to be the most approachable and down-to-earth Luna there is.
Most approachable and down-to-earth Luna, huh? I thought, my grin transforming into a smug smirk. I like the sound of that.

Even the conversation surrounding the supposed love triangle among Noah, Zoe, and myself had shifted in tone. Instead of viewing me as the interloper in Noah and Zoe’s relationship, comments were starting to drift towards whether Noah should even return to his first love.
