People are loving this.
"I know it might be a bit of a trip to get out here to these small towns," I continue, gesturing at the countryside visible behind me through the truck windows, "but trust me when I say it's such a wonderful experience filled with joy and happiness and genuine holiday spirit that you just can't find in big cities! Go with friends, family, loved ones, your pack! Hell, bring your pets too! Can you even imagine a golden retriever in a ridiculous Christmas sweater at a holiday market? Pure content gold!"
The comments shift.
wait who's driving
WHO ARE YOU WITH
is that a GUY in the driver's seat???
REVERIE DO YOU HAVE A BOYFRIEND
I giggle, trying to look mysterious.
"Well, that's supposed to be my little secret, but..." I pause for effect. "Should I give you guys a hint?"
The comments go absolutely wild. Viewer count climbing to six hundred now.
Seven hundred.
"Okay okay," I say, pretending to give in. "So I'm currently in a truck. A really nice truck. And who normally drives trucks?"
I'm teasing them and loving every second. This is what good content feels like—the audience engaged, the energy flowing, everything clicking into place.
AN ALPHA????
omg are you taken now
this is giving rom-com energy
ENEMIES TO LOVERS ARC???
"Is this going to be some rom-com adventure?" I read aloud, grinning. "I'm not sure! I mean, hmmm. I'd say we're just friends, right?"
I turn my head to look at Nash, keeping the phone camera on myself. He's focused on the road, but I can see that small smirk playing at the corner of his mouth. The one that suggests he's enjoying this more than he wants to admit.
"Hey, Nash," I say, my tone shifting to curious. "Do Alphas even watch streams like this? I don't even know if my content appeals to your demographic."
I turn back to the camera, addressing my followers directly.
"Show of hands, everyone! Well, not actual hands because this is a live stream, but you know what I mean. How many Alphas are watching right now? Comment if you're an Alpha!"
The comments flood in so fast I can barely track them.
Alpha here!

ALPHA AND LOVING YOUR CONTENT

I watch in shock as the viewer count triples suddenly.
Eight hundred. Nine hundred. Nine hundred fifty.
One thousand.
