It was a strangely surreal feeling to have a baby in the house. Anna, at the height of her rock star life, now found herself with a daughter in her arms and no father to support her—a scenario that, to her, sounded like a complete disaster. Harper spent most of her time at her grandmother Tess's house, while Anna rehearsed and performed on stage with the band. For a while, she managed to keep her daughter's existence a secret even from her friends. But one day, Tess showed up at the studio with the baby in her arms—and as soon as she saw her mother, Harper nearly threw herself from her grandmother's lap, reaching for Anna's warmth and familiar scent.
Anna's friends were stunned by the revelation. Between exchanged glances and awkward silences, some couldn't hide their concern: they feared the little girl would become an obstacle, taking away from Anna the energy and dedication that had always defined her as a guitarist—intense, tireless, and 100% dedicated to the stage.
Until one day, when Harper turned five, Anna decided to say goodbye to her career as a guitarist and singer and become an agent, a less demanding job, so to speak, and one that would give her a chance to raise her daughter.
Eleven years later.
