Shorter. Quieter. Nicer. Softer. All words that compare me to my sister, to compare me to everyone else around me. They used to hurt, but not so much anymore. Everyone treats me like a second-place competitor…except for Roland. He looks at me differently, with anger and inspiration in his eyes, but also attraction. An undeniable kind of attraction.
Roland
I've spent years looking for inspiration at the bottom of a bottle. It's not working, and neither am I. As if losing my boyfriend, my career, and my muse weren't bad enough, now I'm on the brink of losing my mind too. At least I was, but then I met him. With Donny comes fresh inspiration, but he deserves more than the scattered pieces of me. I know I have to get my life together. I’ve failed at many things before, but I can’t afford to fail now. Either I succeed at conquering the demons inside of me, or I lose Donny forever.
