A writer for an SNL type show and a pop heartthrob meet during his appearance as a host on the show. Two years later, they reconnect during covid and fall in love though the female protagonists is insecure and wonders at the fact that this man could fall in love with her, an average looking 38 year old and not a young attractive model. 

Nice story. There were a LOT of words I had never heard before, so I spent more time than I'd have liked checking their definitions online. 

Noah, the popstar seems way too good to be true. Emotionally available, secure in his masculinity to the extent of writing multiple page email essays while courting Sally and therapising her when she feels insecure and overwhelmed by his fame.
