One is a journalist who writes about movie stars. The other is a movie star who hates journalists. Now their worlds are colliding.
Reagan Porter is a small town journalist married, in every sense of the word, to her work. When everything that could...
"There's nothing I can do to make you stay?" he asked. "Unlimited mango smoothies on me?"
I laughed. "Tempting, my no. I have my sights set elsewhere." I pulled at my lip as a blush crept into my cheeks. "This is for the best."
He nodded, and I knew he knew that I was referring to a who not a what.
"Good luck, Reagan," Spencer said. "Be well."

With the hours of my day that I now had back, I walked down the street soaking in the warm Carolina air. The breeze felt nice on my skin, dancing along the back of my neck as I strolled along.
There was even a skip to my step, and I couldn't help but let out a giggle.
No deadlines to meet, no celebrities—undiscovered nor popular—to question. Nothing but time to do what I wanted.
I had time to figure out a career. Hell, I was only 26 years old. There was only one thing I was sure of in this moment. And right now—according to CelebG—she was preparing for a shoot in Paris.
I sat down on a park bench and took out my phone. Since returning from Asheville, I'd forced myself to stay away from CelebG as much as possible. I couldn't bear the thought of hate comments accusing me of ruining Violetta's life.
They wouldn't be wrong, just a bit dramatic.
Instead, what I found days after the news hit the front pages of the magazines about Violetta's devastating heartbreak was that we had our own fandom. The same cluster of users who had praised us once before, affectionately dubbing us as 'Ravioli' and branding themselves in her fandom as the Violet Blooms. They fended off a few hateful commenters, banding together to show us their support.
WrentalCar67: #westandwithravioli (gotta roll with the punches sometimes)
SilverMoon_09: I totally shipped them so hard. It's devastating to hear the news :(
WattDoYouMean: @ViolettaDawson if you ever see this please know we love and support you always #westandwithravioli
YesImFrench: i love pasta #westandwithravioli
StarLight_StarBright: @YesImFrench smh this is about more than just pasta! This is about true love!
RoseyPosey127: my heart breaks for them #westandwithravioli
I chuckled to myself, glad to see there was still positivity out here in the celebrity world. I scrolled through CelebG, pausing when I saw an advertisement featuring Violetta. She stood clad in an accented bikini, smiling at the camera and holding a wine cooler with light orange liquid inside. Her hair flowed around her shoulders, but instead of the auburn I knew, it was now colored a deep purple with a touch of red. I couldn't tell from the ad if it was a wig or if she'd dyed her hair. I hope it was the former.
