Thepianoman Stories

Honestly this is just going to be crap, but prepare yourselves anyway.

October 10th, 1993 - New York City Claire Hart moved to New York chasing freedom, only to find herself stuck behind a Citibank desk, the pages of her half-finished stories collecting dust. She's practical. Careful. Trying not to want more than coffee, a quiet booth, and the small hope that she's not too late to become who she was meant to be. Then she meets Billy Joel-messy, magnetic, and caught between the life he's built and the life he still wants. What starts as a chance encounter becomes something neither of them can easily walk away from. A slow-burn, grounded romance set in rain-soaked streets, backstage shadows, and late-night phone calls, Autumn Interlude is about wanting more, even when you're afraid to reach for it-and finding it, just for a moment, in the unexpected space between two people who weren't looking for each other, but might have needed each other all the same.
