Hear Me (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780648861041)

Joel

A blind date, a chance meeting, a girl I watched runaway from me.

An opening act, a year on tour, a duet requested to be written.

All things that cause me joy, cause me pain, and have me twisted up in knots.

A wall I built up, to protect me from her. A tension I cannot shake, can't ignore, can't move on from.

I can survive this, survive the storm that is her.

Alintia

An irritable man, an asshole, a guy out to ruin my life.

A record deal, a breakthrough tour, a band rising through the charts.

The cause of my happiness, the cause of my discomfort, and has me feeling exiled from the tour.

A song to be written about a love I have never experienced, a duet with the man who has made my life hell.

An attraction I cannot restrain, no matter how awful he appears to be.

I know it's an act, but I don't know why he is trying to protect himself from me.
