it made me feel slightly uncomfortable. I thought it was important to be on good terms with the band’s management, especially as we’d have to work together quite often, and I didn’t quite understand where Noah’s hostility came from.
    Eventually I stopped worrying about both problems. Miranda didn’t bother me at all. I could stand her glares, I didn’t care about them at all, and to her credit she never did anything that would prevent me from doing my job or seeing Jonathan when I needed to. Noah was a bit more of a problem, but I decided if he wanted to act like a douche, then that was fine, I’d just do my job while being as civil as I needed to be with him, no more, no less.
    It made it all that much easier that Jonathan was really true to his word. After that first dinner, he made no more mention of our past, and all of our conversations were strictly of a professional nature. If anything, he seemed even a little bit more distant.
    I couldn’t deny my own feelings, however. The more time I spent with Jonathan, the more I felt my old feelings return. My heart panged with desire every time Jonathan looked at me, every time I walked into a room with him in it. I quashed these feelings as well as I could, always thinking about Kevin, and how much I loved him. And it was true, I did love Kevin. I loved Kevin with all my heart. But there was something about Jonathan. There was a spark there, and I didn’t know where it came from. What I did know is it had to go. There was no way it could be acted on, and I wasn’t going to act on it. I didn’t want to feel this way.
    Nonetheless, everything continued well for a few weeks. I got settled into my new role, but two weeks after I started, I finally had my first major disagreement with Liam Noah.
    Three days before the fight, I was with the band, in the recording studio. To be honest, I didn’t really have a real reason to be there, I just wanted to see what it was like. After all, recording an album sounded exciting! I brought my laptop and my phone with me, which allowed me to do around 99% of my work, all the while getting to see a real live album being recorded.
    I had to admit, while I sat in the room with the producer moving dials up and down on the recording equipment, the band on the other side of the room playing the same part of the song over and over to get it perfectly, I was pretty pleased with myself. After all, I’d just managed a total PR coup: the band was going to be featured on one of the country’s biggest fashion magazines.
    The idea came into my head a few days after arriving. After all, whenever female artists needed a big PR boost they made their way onto the cover of a magazine. Why couldn’t a band of men do the same thing? Using the Knight Blindness name, I managed to speak directly to the magazine’s editor, and she thought the idea was as amazing as I did. We were going to do something that had rarely, if ever, been done before.
    It worked really well for both of us: the magazine was going to get the shock factor of having a male group on their cover, not to mention a male band that had been in the news a lot lately, and we were going to get to tell our side of the story.
    Jonathan, Eric and Jared weren’t quite as enthusiastic as I was about it (“Will we have to wear dresses?”), but eventually I brought them around. I wanted this to go well. This was going to be my first major project as the new PR manager for the band, and I wanted it to be a good thing. We were headed to the shoot for the editorial spread after the recording session, and as much as I tried to focus on what I was doing, I was really nervous about how things were going to go.
    Liam Noah wasn’t able to make it to the shoot, he had to attend to other band business at the lawyer’s offices , working with organizers to plan the band’s worldwide tour, scheduled to start in seven months. He wasn’t pleased about this idea, but when the band agreed to do it, he
