Story Nineteen-year-old Lavinia Rose Sterling works two jobs for the World Collide Tour. By sunrise, she’s part of the cleaning crew, quietly making hotel rooms, dressing rooms, tour buses, and backstage areas spotless before anyone notices she was there. By showtime, she picks up her camera. As one of the tour’s photographers, she’s trusted to capture the best moments on stage and behind the scenes. Everyone knows her photos—but very few know her. Her little sister, Lilly Victoria Sterling, dreams of meeting the cast one day. During one concert, Lavinia accidentally catches Malachi Barton laughing naturally between performances. The photo becomes everyone’s favorite because it captures the real him instead of a staged pose. Malachi starts noticing the quiet photographer who is always working—whether she’s carrying a camera or cleaning up after everyone has gone home. The only problem? Malachi is dating Sabrina, an influencer who loves attention and treats the tour staff with little respect. She’s jealous whenever Malachi and Lavinia talk, constantly trying to embarrass Lavinia in front of everyone. But while Sabrina only cares about appearances, Lavinia quietly supports the entire tour without asking for recognition. As the tour travels across the country, Malachi begins to realize that the person who truly sees him isn’t standing in the spotlight— She’s the girl behind the camera. And the one making sure everyone else shines.
