Peter managed to keep everyone away for years by building his own world complete with a wall made of music until the day Chloe started working next to him. Chloe poked, kicked and talked her way around his defenses until he found himself socializing and promising to listen to her sing at the local pub. Can this determined woman bring Peter out of his MP3 shell and will Peter be able to give Chloe what she really wants?

Lyrical is another great short story by Victoria Blisse, showing that not only women are worried about how they look. Men can also be sensitive about their weight and body size, and very insecure about their social skills. It is really wonderful to see an author handle such a delicate topic and even better to find someone who doesn't care about social structures. As a non-perfect body type I love the fact that the heroine looks past the outside and the shyness to find the person within. Great job!
