And trust me when I tell you it's heavy on the violins.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span style=color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>Because the man in question? He's not just any guy he's </span><em style=color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>Rafe</em><span style=color: rgba(15 17 17 1)> freakin' </span><em style=color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>Goodman</em><span style=color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>. </span></p><p><br></p><p><span style=color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>My former best friend. </span></p><p><br></p><p><span style=color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>The boy who made my summers on Whispering Key magical. The guy who inspired every love song that led to the chart-topping music career I have today. The man I always sort of figured would wait for me while I pursued my dreams and finally found a way to tell the world I was gay...</span></p><p><br></p><p><span style=color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>But instead of waiting he married Aimee.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span style=color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>Rafe and Aimee's marriage has been over for a while now but it doesn't really matter. He doesn't love me even though I feel like I'll love him until the day I die.

Hopelessly out of tune.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span style=color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>Or so I thought. </span></p><p><br></p><p><span style=color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>But when circumstances throw us back together on a crazy cross-country road trip suddenly all kinds of secrets come to light that make it seem like maybe our show's not over yet. </span></p><p><br></p><p><span style=color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>If I want a life with the man of my dreams though I'll have to be honest--with Rafe and the rest of the world too--and find the courage to write us a new song. </span></p><p><br></p><p><span style=color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>One that's exactly like us: perfectly imperfect... and a little off key.</span></p><p><br></p>
