Summary
When world-famous actress Scylla Ramshorn ducks into a small Brooklyn workshop to escape paparazzi, she doesn’t expect to meet someone who’ll change her life. But Raelle Collar, a sharp, scruffy woodworker with a quiet wit and no clue who she is—does exactly that. What starts as a moment of refuge becomes something undeniable, something real.
Over several days in New York, Scylla and Raelle fall, slowly, unexpectedly, all-in. But when Scylla leaves for LA, fame, distance, and fear creep in. Their story could’ve ended there. It doesn’t.
Instead, they learn how to stay.
Set between New York, LA and the quiet places in between, this is a story about fame as noise, love as steadiness. About being seen without being watched. About holding onto softness and making something beautiful and real.
Together, they navigate red carpets, press tours, and late nights in a Brooklyn loft filled with sawdust and love.

Summary
“I was told I would be able to meet with the chef this afternoon,” Beatrice says, as politely as she can manage. She’s meant to start working tomorrow and she hasn’t even met the executive chef yet, outside of traded emails where she was swayed by the promise of full autonomy into leaving her position as pastry chef at one of the only restaurants in the city with three Michelin stars for a fledgling fusion tapas joint sandwiched between a pierogi stand and a vape shop on the lower east side that got an upstart Michelin star in its first year of operation.
