Some men dream of her. One man stayed.
When a viral letter from a world-famous artist exposes a secret love that never was, she's forced into the spotlight-again. But she's not his muse. Not anymore.
She belongs to Thomas Gibson.
He's older. Steady. Private. The man who held her hand through the silence, not just the song. When the internet questions her love, when the past paints her in someone else's story-he's the only one who doesn't flinch.
Now the world is watching, the pressure is rising, and her heart is caught between the one who immortalized her... and the one who never let her go.
A slow-burn, age-gap, emotionally devastating love story about what it means to stay when it's easier to run.
"He saw me first. But you... you stayed."

To Do List (gretson)
Carson was 27 and tired of her life. She needed an outlet. Or maybe to change everything. She wasn't sure about anything except the fact that she needed something else, anything else. She'd heard about a Taylor Swift concert over the weekend, on October 29th, 2022, in New York. That meant a go-wild find-yourself road trip and a weekend in the Big Apple. At least eight days away from her boring small city life. A time she could use to figure some stuff out. So she wrote down a to-do list of silly things she should have done when she was younger: travel alone, have a lot of fast food, go to a karaoke bar, get drunk, see Taylor Swift live. She would do those silly things now. Maybe she'd find out who she really was and what she wanted, while on the road, while in New York, while stanning Miss Americana. She could never guess this trip would bring her much more than Taylor Swift. It would bring her Greta Gill. ... An alternate universe gretson fanfiction.Complete

Of course, I was his fiancΓ©e and I'd claim that title no matter what. "Let's see if you really are," he whispered slowly in between his breathing. His tone broadcasted danger and it made me shudder.
