ride; some kind of home
1983, metallica is on the verge of becoming something bigger than anyone could have imagined. alex Wallace is twenty years old, a guitarist with a restless soul, a suitcase full of regrets, and nowhere left to call home. she never planned on falling for james. it was only supposed to be stolen nights and a promise that neither of them would ask for more.
but some people are impossible to leave behind.
when one heartbreaking goodbye sends alex running, she finds herself on the road with the rising rock band static revolt, chasing freedom through cheap motels, packed venues, and endless highways. as the miles grow longer, so do the ghosts she's trying to outrun.
then fate throws her back into james' path.
caught between two bands, two lives, the person she's was and the person shes becoming, alex must decide whether love is worth the risk, or if some people are only ever meant to be passing through.
a slow-burn story of love, music, grief, and finding a place to belong.
