The Art of Tightrope Walking

His body is now facing mine, so I also turn to look at him. My initial hunch was right, this guy is very attractive. When we make eye contact the world doesn't stop, it shatters. His eyes stay locked on mine with such a fierce intensity that makes me feel a weird form of deja vu. It's not the type of intensity reserved for a stranger, but like we've known each other in another life. Blue eyes used to scare me in theory, I always thought they would be sharp like ice or a blinding pain. The hottest part of fire is the blue part. But his eyes carry a different level of intensity, one that has an unwavering sincerity to it. Then he smiles, the type that travels to his eyes and makes me feel the rain I had missed.
"You're April."

April doesn't like Los Angeles even slightly, but she couldn't be home for the summer after her sophomore year of college. After writing her book, despising her life in Boston, making so many mistakes and running away from her past an summer internship at Pacific records is the best option she has. To escape the east coast toxicity and pressure of productivity, this summer could be the vacation she needs.

Daniel hangs out in the background. He observes and writes songs and is afraid this means he will miss out on something incredible. When April runs into him at Pacific Records he knows she will be an important person to him, even though she wants nothing to do with him or Los Angeles.

What happens when they spend more time together, and slowly their lives become intertwined? The door opens for current enemies, old secrets and the past April doesn't want to think about. While writing and creating is what connects April and Daniel, past mistakes threaten to tear them apart.
