After weeks of cameras, interviews, showcases, and media noise following Isadora’s Anastasia success and Phantom Youth’s reunion buzz, both bands were finally granted something rare: peace and quiet.
Their managers had arranged a secluded private resort nestled in the Bavarian Alps — no paparazzi, no press, no screaming fans. Just snow-dusted pine trees, vintage cabins with creaky floors, an indoor hot spring, and a stocked kitchen.
As the vans rolled in, Nina pressed her face to the window. “Dude. It looks like Narnia but make it punk.”
Tom stepped out in his oversized hoodie, sunglasses still on despite the snow. “Best. Idea. Ever.”
Isadora grinned, hoodie tied around her waist, vintage Walkman clipped to her jeans. "Finally somewhere I can breathe."
That night, after a long round of snowball fights and skating on the frozen lake with the whole crew, Tom tugged Isadora’s hand.
> “C’mon,” he whispered, voice low and soft under the moonlight.
They slipped away from the others, boots crunching in the snow. He led her to the quiet wooden sauna cabin tucked behind the main lodge. Inside, the warmth hit instantly — soft, golden light glowing against the timber walls.
Tom tossed his hoodie onto a bench and pulled out a blanket from the cabinet.
> “No interruptions,” he said, throwing it over both their laps as they sat down together on the bench.
Isadora smiled, resting her head against his shoulder, her fingers gently tracing the edge of his tattoo. “This place feels like a dream.”
> “You are my dream,” Tom murmured, brushing his nose against her temple.
They talked for hours. No cameras, no pressure. Just two teenagers with matching tattoos and more secrets than the world would ever guess. They talked about music, fame, fear, and what the future might look like… even if it was scary.
Eventually, they fell asleep right there — tangled in a blanket, Isadora’s Walkman playing softly between them.
