Nora Blake repels ordinary. Adam Clarke is constructed entirely of ordinary. ● ● ● "I don't want to share you with the galaxy, Nora Blake," he says quietly, and all at once, all the stars inside my chest are being flung across the universe at full speed and for that particular moment, I am untethered. Unrooted. Flowing. Floating. Something. He doesn't have to, I think, instantly. I am vaguely aware of the fact that I am a kind of traitor: but there is no heavy stone of betrayal in my chest. The galaxy will wait. It will wait until this beautiful boy flings my fragile heart across the universe at full-speed, but right now, I'm so full of it that I don't even care. Look at that. Nora Blake gives up the galaxy. I look at him, then, and there's so much color oozing out of his perfect, jagged cracks that I feel like I'm in one of Nadia's Leonid Afremov paintings and there's a supernova in my chest. "You don't have to," I tell him, so quietly that I don't think he hears. His delicate rose-pink mouth is curved into a kind of frown and his baby-blue gray-flecked gaze is lost somewhere far, far away from the devoid town of Enfield. I recognize that much, and I wonder momentarily if he has his own galaxy somewhere. I don't want to share him either, I think.

For a slightly below average life, things aren't always easy for Callisto. Which is why moving out of her sad little West coast town and heading off to college in the vibrant East coast is the perfect way to create a road paved with opportunity. Although soft spoken and quiet, she's determined to succeed in the career of her dreams: Photojournalism. While focused on achieving success, she runs into a struggling musician who is just searching for recognition. The easy-going Ellis spends his time playing at local cafes and scoring any gigs that he can get, but it isn't enough to land him the big break. That is, unless he can get the publicity that Callisto could provide him. The two form an interesting relationship as they both benefit from each other. Callisto tries getting Ellis's name out as she gets her foot in the door of the press industry. Meanwhile Ellis is a native to the city who can show Callisto all sorts of hidden gems and events for her to report, as well as giving her a story to use for the university paper. Using each other simply for success might not be the only bond they form, but their friendship gets tested as secrets are told, problems miles away catch up, and the two will pay the price that comes with fame.
