Grace Barlow has loved taking pictures since she got her first camera as a kid. It was cheap, made of plastic material and the photos taken on it were absolute trash. And yet, she loved it. She was the kid who always had a camera looped around their neck, capturing moments and freezing them in time. She knew from a young age there was nothing else she wanted to do with her life.

It was a hit or miss career, she knew that. She couldn't do it fulltime, forcing her to work as a barista on the side. And as time passed, she began to believe maybe it was farfetched, to believe she could live off of taking photos alone; she was beginning to believe it would only be a hobby.

Until she got the call.

The man on the phone sounded very formal, his tone official as he asked her if she'd be interested in photographing for a musician's tour. He couldn't share the name until she signed on, but Grace didn't care. She'd be photographing concerts every night and making enough money that she could save it up and never have to work at Starbucks again.

This was it; this was her big break. To Grace, nothing could bring her down... well, until she gets the email confirming the artist she'll be touring around the country with for the next 3 months.

Joshua Bassett.

She hadn't heard that name in a long time, and yet, her heart ached reading it. She hadn't seen him since he left oceanside and moved to LA to pursue his career, leaving her behind with nothing but a promise that nothing was going to change. But everything is different now. A lot has changed since the day he drove away.

Grace wants nothing more than to stay clear from Joshua and get her job done; but things only grow more complicated when Joshua's management try to force a fake relationship on him, with some up-and-coming popstar that will help his image. He's willing to do anything to get out of it.

Even if that means lying about already having a girlfriend... and of course, the first name that comes to mind is none other than the girl he hasn't stopped thinking about for years, Grace Barlow.

"I think of that night in the park, it was getting dark and we stayed up for hours. What a time, what a time, what a time. You clinged to my body like you wanted it forever. What a time, what a time, what a time for you and I. What a time, what a time. For you and I."
