Summary
"Travis is really nice. He just... he wants to take me out. He wants the world to see him with me. It’s simple."
"Nothing you ever do is simple," Andrea said. She leaned in closer. "But you can't run forever. You’ve been running again since early August, since the announcement of your 1989 version.” She hesitated and furrowed her brows. "Is this about Karlie?"
Taylor’s breath hitched. A cold sweat broke out along her collarbone. "We’re just talking again. Like friends. It’s fine."
OR
Five years of polite distance; five years of 'Happy Birthday' texts and hollow congratulations on new albums and life milestones have passed when Karlie and Taylor, once best friends, reconnect during the eras tour. Karlie now has her life with Josh, and Taylor, Taylor has Travis.
But you can love a good man and still be haunted by the person you were never really honest with. It’s been nearly a decade since 2014 and Kissgate wasn't a kiss, but in the moments when she's truly honest with herself, Taylor still wishes it had been.
A story of two women who never had a fallout but never had a beginning either and the discovery that safe isn't the same as home.Series
