Delilah Brooks is Australia's most feared netball defender - fast, unshakable, and barely 5'0" of pure athletic focus. She's kind, grounded, adored by fans, and totally uninterested in celebrity hype. Her life revolves around three things: her mum, her team, and the few seconds of silence she finds between the whistle. So when international pop star Billie Eilish is dragged to a NSW Swifts game by her friends on a night off in Sydney, Delilah barely registers her in the crowd. But Billie registers her. And she can't look away. As one world tour collides with another championship season, Billie and Delilah's paths tangle across cities, stadiums, late-night texts, shared silences, and slow glances from opposite ends of the world. This isn't a story about fame. It's a story about what happens when the loudest girl in the world meets the one who only lets herself feel between the whistle.

Juliana Cruz is 5 feet of glitter, guts, and quiet genius. Singer. Songwriter. Lesbian. Chronic overthinker. Fiercely loved only child. And very, very down bad for Billie Eilish. At 21, Jules has spent most of her life writing songs for other people's love stories-until a viral karaoke cover of Till Forever Falls Apart accidentally flips the spotlight onto her. Practically overnight, she's offered a record deal, shoved into the public eye, and faced with the one thing she's never had to do before: believe in herself. She's never hidden who she is. If you know Jules, you know she likes women. You know she loves loud, feels deeply, and flirts like it's an art form. With her two best friends-YouTube icons Larray and Tara Yummy-riding shotgun, and her cousin Mitch producing her debut album Think Later, Jules dives headfirst into the chaos of fame, queer identity, and what it means to finally stop playing it safe. She's funny like Sabrina Carpenter, soft like Gracie Abrams, chaotic like Tate McRae in 4-inch platforms-and the crush she's nursed on Billie Eilish for years? It's no joke. It's the kind of crush that could wreck her. The kind that makes her feel too much. But Billie doesn't even know she exists. Not yet. Because Jules has rules: 1. Think later. 2. Love louder. 3. And if Billie Eilish ever touched her? Kissed her? Wanted her? She wouldn't just fall. She'd let her.
