muse a has recently moved back to their hometown after going through a messy divorce. muse a has their child for the halloween weekend and takes them out trick-or-treating. it’s the end of the night and muse a has agreed to visit one more house before heading back home. muse a knocks on the door and is surprised when they see muse b, their former high school sweetheart, greeting them with a bowl full of candy and the smile muse a could never get out of their head.
muse a is an up-and-coming music producer that has landed their dream job with their favorite music label. muse b is head of the music label and the one who hired muse a. muse a and muse b have been working closely together on a new artist’s album and develop a cute little bond over their love of music. the bond soon morphs into attraction. this is problematic for muse b because muse b has always had a strict policy to never date someone they work with. years ago, muse b was once in a relationship with a coworker and it ended disastrously. muse b starts to distance themselves from muse a in the hopes that their attraction to muse a will fade over time. muse b’s plan doesn’t last long after seeing someone flirting up a storm with muse a at the launch party for their artist’s new album.
