Beyoncé Knowles can't believe her annoyingly perfect personal assistant has actually resigned from her cushy, highly paid position, and she intends to tell her exactly what she thinks about it. But when she gets to her place, she comes to realize she might not know Onika as well as she thought she had. Started: Janurary 21st, 2020 Finished: May 4th, 2020

"I was the voice Beyoncé couldn't stop craving." "...And you were also the shadow I never saw watching me." And this was "XO, Anonymous!"

Some connections don't burn. They ache. Quietly. Constantly. Onika Maraj has never had to fight for attention. Born into generational wealth, her life is all curated elegance and effortless charm. But at 21, the glimmer is starting to dull. She's bored with privilege, numb to men who talk too much, and tired of being told who she's supposed to be. Until brunch at Nobu. Until a woman she's only heard of walks in-quiet, composed, untouchable. Beyoncé Knowles. At 37, Beyoncé is all legacy and silence. A name, a presence, a mother, and a woman who doesn't look twice. But for the first time in a long time, someone looks at her like they see the parts of her she's buried. They don't speak. Not yet. But something settles under the skin. And when fate brings them face to face again-at a gala neither of them wants to attend-the ache deepens. This isn't a story of falling fast. It's about holding back. And wanting anyway. This is the beginning of the yearn.
