London never felt as loud as the day Rosie Lefebvre realized that the man who shared cigarettes and silence with her on a pub sidewalk wasn't just some random stranger, but a giant shadow cast across magazine covers and sold-out stadiums.
An art student, used to translating the world through paints and tragic stories on her canvases, she sought a silent refuge and found a love that promised to be calm. However, when the illusion of a vacation collapses and the reality of fame reaches his beautiful fortress, what was meant to be sweet turns violent enough to make her run away, leaving behind only a letter written on the back of a watercolor painting, a reminder that loving too much can devour you from the inside out.
Months later, the past stops being just a memory trapped in dry pigments and materializes right in front of her.
"And now you're here, standing right in front of me, telling me everything about yourself, not that man from the stages and the smooth voice, the real you. I won't lie, I'm scared, looking into your eyes, I wonder, are you really going to stay this time?"
