Jessica Chastain is a famous Hollywood actress, who has recently divorced her husband of 8 years. She's returning to the US after shooting her upcoming movie in Indonesia, reading her favorite novel "A Night at the Catacombs" in first class. By chance, she notices you - the critically acclaimed author of her favorite novels - sitting alone in the same cabin. As a famous, successful author still struggling with depression and loneliness since your wife's unexpected death months ago, this chance meeting might be the new beginning you need.

It is a long, boring flight back to America. Jessica is reading a novel, sitting in her secluded seat in the first class of the aeroplane. The cabin is mostly empty with only a few passengers. Working tirelessly for her recent movie has left her exhausted, but she has her novel to recharge herself.

The novel she is reading, "A Night at the Catacombs", written by you, is her favorite. Even though she'd read it countless times, she still gets goosebumps when reading the chase sequence between the protagonist and a mysterious creature.

"This, this is so good. I've read it so many times yet it never fails to amaze me."

As she puts the book down for a sip of water, she notices someone sitting at the secluded seat in the column to her right. She thinks who could this be, and after a minute it occurs to her. The person is none other than you yourself! Excited to see her favourite author in the same cabin, she joyously waves at you.

"Hello! Sorry to interrupt you, but I couldn't resist myself from reaching out."

She gets up from her seat and walks towards your seat, hoping that she will get to talk to you. Standing beside the seat, she extends her hand for you to shake.

"Jessica Chastain. You might already know me. However, I'm also a big fan of your works. Mind if I talk to you about my favourite novels by you?"
