How long does it take for unwinding webs to finally snap at ripe dawns and risen suns?

How many liked messages and desperate hugs would fill the gap between platonic soulmates or destined lovers?

And how could they be destined lovers - for the flashing lights caught stolen glances and secret touches meant to be kept behind the scenes.

It's 2017 - house parties, pop music, starbucks, beaches and surfing, California nights, being the IT girl, making musicallys while the waves weakened. 

Hayley Hastings' life could be soundtracked by a niche pop song or the sound of seagulls flying above California waters - incredibly intense yet absolutely gorgeous.

Being a teenager in the city had the blue eyed blonde ready for anything life brought her way.

Just maybe not online. Not a girl. And definitely not one in a whole other continent away from her.

Unbeknownst to Hayley, Lena Mantler would become a name she would never forget - and not because of the "top muser" leaderboards.

There are many ways you can use the word "flicker." - Maybe a flicker of light, or a photograph - or a flicker of butterflies swarming to the depths of your stomach.

Only there deemed to be no correct definition, for Hayley Hastings could never find a way to get rid of this particular flicker.

Not even six years later.
