Some hearts never stop singing the same song.
Audrey doesn’t believe in fairytales—especially not the kind where a long-lost pen pal grows up to become a rockstar... and forgets her.

Years later, she’s grounded, thriving in a promising career, and guarding a heart that’s learned not to hope. But when fate throws Drew—now a global sensation and the ghost of her teenage years—back into her life as her new neighbor, everything she thought she'd buried begins to rise.

He’s still magnetic. Still infuriating.
Still the boy who used to call her after every show.

And he remembers everything.

What begins as a cautious reconnection spirals into a slow-burning storm of music, memories, and feelings they never quite had the courage to explore. But Drew’s past is darker than she imagined, and Audrey’s walls are higher than ever.

Can a rockstar with a broken rhythm and a girl who learned to dance alone find harmony again?

Or is it all just… make believe?

The conversation about moving started quietly, just the two of us on the couch after Ian had finally fallen asleep. The city lights flickered through the window, casting a soft glow across Audrey’s face. I could tell something was weighing on her — the way she picked at the hem of her sleeve, the way her eyes searched mine. 


“Do you think we should... start moving?” she asked softly. “God, it’s going to be a lot.” 


“Yeah. I do,” I said, without hesitation. “I think we should move before Christmas. And this time, I’m doing it right. No leaving it all to you. I’m going to take care of it. Stop worrying.” 


She smiled — uncertain, but hopeful. “I’d like that.” 


We sat in silence for a while after that, wrapped in the comfort of what this next step might mean. A place with space for Ian to run, a home we could build together. Something solid. Something ours.
