The Moon to My Stars [ONC 2023]

Author's Notes

When a mysterious man moves into the house next to that of Skye Rowland, the entire neighbourhood starts buzzing. Not only does he hide out in his house every day, but he also only leaves through tinted cars. Many theories about his identity flood the town, such as the son of a millionaire, the president's son or even a serial killer.

Nope, he's just one of the world's biggest stars: Aidan Moore, who also happens to have abruptly disappeared from the public eye. And just like the millions of people who follow him, his new neighbour happens to be a huge fan of his. When Skye accidentally stumbles upon his identity one night, the game changes. Now, she has to help her idol live normally, all while their relationship grows to be more intimate.

***

Prompt: A new neighbor comes to town. Not a very social person, they hide out in their house every day, only leaving through tinted cars. Then, one night when you are going out, you look straight into the face of your idol.

My name is Calista, and this is my 2nd entry out of two to the Open Novella Contest 2023. This is my 5th year taking part in it. In previous years, I was too busy to complete my many entries (I couldn't control myself and decided to write THREE entries for the past three years – a big mistake). This year, I'm a bit freer, but I do wish to read many books in 2023, so I'd have to juggle between the two. I hope I can finish both of my entries this year!
