Member-only story
All she wanted was a vacation. All she wanted was time away form the limelight. All she wanted was to sit on a beach, disappear and get herself back together.
She never expected to fall in love. She certainly didn’t expect it to happen with someone who didn’t know who she was. Because, she was famous.

Because she was famous.
Because she was someone that people knew when they saw her in the market on the street, having an ice cream cone. Because she was a public figure, it was assumed that she was public property.
She wasn’t.
How often had she heard the sentences, “Hey, I know you,” or “don’t I know you.” How often had she wanted to say, no, there is no way you could know me because you don’t want to take the time. There’s no way you could know me because we have never met. There is no way you could…
“You’re that actress, I saw you do…” then the list, then the autograph request, then the run down of the career, then the questions about what’s next, then the picture and then, and then, and then… Like a drive thru at a cheap hamburger joint, pull up, order and get what you want. Because she is on the bill boards, the televisions talk shows, the big screens… She is on the menu.
