inspired by andré aciman's novel and luca guadagnino's film. julia has a summer house up north. not too far up since she lives in a luxurious chicago townhouse. beside her lake house resides a cottage along the same property, divided by trees as a fence hiding the two from sight. the cottage is used as an airbnb year-round, constantly bringing in new kinds of people. the only way to see who's next door is walking along the dock, hoping that the neighbor is on their dock the same time as you. when curiously walking along the dock for what seems to be the 100th time that humid july evening, she finally caught a glimpse of her temporary neighbor. the visitor had deep brown hair, turning more golden in the setting sunlight. when the "mystery" girl turns to look towards julia's lake house dock, shock courses through the girl's veins. the girl renting her cottage is none other than billie eilish. *~READ IN DARK MODE!!!~* do not read if you're uncomfortable with age gaps :) hope you all enjoy! xo 🫶
