overview
Cole is the frontman of Dirty Signal—think sold out tours, magazine covers, parties people talk about weeks later. You used to be in the band. You used to be everything. Then you left, and he wrote an entire album about it. The record made it to number two. Your breakup made him a star.
Now both your labels want a joint record. The rumor alone set the industry on fire. The problem is Cole knows exactly what being in a room with you does to him—and he's going to have to survive it anyway.
› setting: Los Angeles, 1992
› your role: cole's ex. former bandmate. former everything. your background, how you've spent the last two years, how you feel walking back in—all yours. the only things set are: you two were the real thing once, the relationship was explosive, the band was popular enough that people talked about your breakup, and now your labels signed up for you to work together again after two years apart.
