Music artist Penny knows all about her bass. A cynic, in a little too perfect but almost boring life with a constantly absentee husband. Her life takes a twist when she lands herself a wonderful opportunity at a studio that allows her to breathe outside of her monotonous life. What starts as a diversion becomes her focus, as a series of events constantly keep her hooked with her coworker who she finds perfect. 
    Is this going to be just another heartbreak situation for Penny? An open-ended fling? Or would she end up doing something that none of them had hoped for?

    "I wonder if he was thinking the same. How would it be if I was his lover? I don't want to be his lover, I deject. I want to be his muse. Someone who strikes him, delights him, entice him. I'll wander in his mind, like freedom, like bondage, like a hurricane. He will crave for me, lust for me, lean on me and touch me. I'll be his dark little secret, his thirst, his passion. Someone he'll hold high and fly. Someone for whom the seven heavens he'll deny. I want to be the lyrics of his songs. Songs on which he would croon and swoon. He'll tell me I'm his melody. I'll be his adventure, his inspiration, his mystery. I'll be the endless words of his poetry. I'll be his ground and his wings, the rhythm of his strings. Let's quit the truce, I tell my heart, I don't want to be his lover, I want to be his muse."
