poetry the colors i once wielded with ease, now lay forgotten in a dusty breeze. my brushes, once a conduit of expression, now sit stiff and lifeless, a sad reflection. for life has taken hold, and with it brought the challenges of adulthood, so dearly bought. yet still i yearn to paint, to let my soul soar, to create something beautiful, forevermore.

[ an epistolary | on-going ] In the glittering, high-stakes world of showbusiness, every smile is choreographed and every silence is bought. Mirenne Steffany knows this better than anyone. Driven by a desperate need to pull her family out of a financial abyss, she signs a non-negotiable, two-year contract to be the personal assistant to the industry's most notorious disaster: Riven Kael. In the quiet spaces where the cameras are beyond reach, Riven is a tempest Mirenne wasn't prepared to face. As their stolen seconds off camera bleeds into a reality that feels like home more than any spotlight ever could, they are forced to confront the truth that some hearts aren't meant to collide, and that even the most beautiful form of love is sometimes found in wreckages of what-could-have-been's.
