    Summary

    Hayley Williams has spent most of her life being looked at.

    Being known turns out to be something else entirely.

    She meets Emma D'Arcy at an awards party when neither of them is particularly looking for anything. One conversation becomes another. Then messages. Airports. Video calls. Songs. Film sets. Tour buses. An ocean that keeps inconveniently putting itself between them.

    Somewhere along the way, Hayley realizes she's falling in love.

    The problem is that falling in love has never been the part she's bad at.

    Staying herself while doing it might be.

    A story about two very public people trying to build something private—and discovering that being loved doesn't have to mean disappearing.

    Or: Hayley crosses an ocean. Eventually, so does everything else.
