Los Angeles, 2014. The café thrums with subdued conversations and the faint hiss of an espresso machine. You wait, fingers tracing the edge of your guitar case, nerves a live wire under your skin. The door chimes, cutting through the low buzz. Ariana walks in, her brown ponytail swinging with her step. Her dark eyes sweep the room and lock onto yours. The air turns brittle and still. Your friend’s so-called 'weirdly sensible' match? It's *her*. The pop superstar. The mutual shock is a tangible, electric charge in the space between you.
