Give me something to think about, something to give my importance, my attention, that everything that for so long waited to be given to something; not just to a hobby, or a simple song that does not seek to find the way out of your head and heart, but to someone.
Frankly you don't always look for it, and possibly it's just your problems that you want to be solved, or tied up, by that someone. In this case, shoelaces.

Avis Wilson was an enigma, she told herself, at least one half, while the other, it was only flaws she laid bare. But to the world, she was a different girl to every mind.
Various problems, deceptions, lies, and then the studies. "How much time does the world think I have?" sounds like a broken record in her head every waking day. Who knew that now that simple but unbearable phrase, would be exchanged for "What will she say about me?" in the blink of an eye.
Enid not only supports her, she is a white sheet on which to paint every moment of the day, night, and evening, and the next sunrise, she is again white as snow, even if her brown skin was still visible on her.
Will Avis be able to feel comfortable as she once felt?
Is Enid just an excuse or is she really who she never, but always, sought to find?
Dear Rory,
I'm sorry about what I said.
I'm leaving for LA in two days.
Can we talk before then, please?
We can just drive around as usual.
I don't know how to do this if
you're upset with me.
Call me please. I'm staying at my
parents' house.
Love, Taylor

Aurora Taylor has been living her best life for the past ten years or so. She works for Odyssey, a travel magazine based in New York City, New York, where she gets to go on dozens of trips a year to the most beautiful corners on earth to write articles about her journey. When she's not travelling, she also dabbles in fiction writing, a little secret passion of hers only few people know about.
When the pressure of her two jobs gets a little too hard to manage, she decided to take a week off in a beautiful town at the beach in Northern Italy. A week full of unadulterated fun and relaxation, with unlimited glasses of chilled Prosecco and gelato cones.
Or, so she thought.
Her plans are completely ruined when she runs into someone she never thought she would ever see again. Not in person at least. A ghost from her past.
Taylor Swift.
Thirteen years and the universe decides to throw them together in a random town in Italy.
Taylor does not believe that it is a coincidence. Aurora is a little reluctant to believe it. But thirteen years is a hard number for Taylor to ignore and she is adamant on making things right with the writer who finds it hard to forgive and forget all that was said and done thirteen years ago.

This story is entirely my work of fiction. All characters and fictional places are from my own imagination except for real celebrities. The timeline is not necessarily a hundred percent accurate to Taylor's for the sake of the story and for it to make sense. I hope you enjoy it!
