Everywhere, Everything. ★ STURNIOLO TRIPLETS
She's running from a past she can't outrun, seeking a fresh start in the quiet, unassuming town of Woodbury, Vermont. He's a social media sensation, one of the Sturniolo Triplets, escaping the suffocating pressures of fame. When their paths unexpectedly cross in a small-town coffee shop, a spilled drink sparks a connection that transcends their vastly different worlds. Can a reclusive writer find solace, and maybe something more, with a global phenomenon, or is their fleeting encounter destined to be just another chapter in her life of constant motion?The chill of early autumn clung to Woodbury, Vermont, a quiet hum contrasting with the usual rush of my life. I found myself in a quaint coffee shop, the scent of cinnamon and brewing coffee a familiar comfort.
Today, however, the peace shattered. A high-pitched shriek cut through the ambient chatter, drawing all eyes to a young girl squealing with delight. Three dark-haired boys, looking as though they'd just stepped out of a magazine, tried to quiet her. It wasn't everyday you saw that kind of reaction, not for 'normal' guys anyway.
From my corner table, I watched, a flicker of recognition sparking in my mind. They were familiar, too familiar. As one of them, Matt, met my gaze across the crowded room, it clicked: the Sturniolo Triplets. What were they doing here, in the middle of nowhere, Vermont? Before I could process the surprise, my elbow connected with my half-finished coffee, sending a dark wave across my journal and onto the floor.
