After a lifetime of feeling abandoned and deficient, am I ready for love?
Liam
I've always been obsessed with my phone, constantly chasing likes and validation through pictures of my body. But after attending Noah and Brody's wedding, I realize I want more than just superficial attention. I want a real connection, a loving partner, family—children.
Near the end of the wedding reception, I meet Jamal, a good friend of Noah's and Brody's best man, and I know there is something special about him. Jamal and I hit it off and plan to hang out as friends. But as the day of our outing progresses, it feels more like a predestined date.
I can't resist the way he makes me feel, and I find myself falling for him. He's kind, funny, and has a habit of spouting random facts that I find endearing.
But there is one thing that gives me pause—Jamal is a paraplegic in a wheelchair.
Am I shallow for letting that fact matter? Or will I be able to rejoice in his uniqueness, and embrace the amazing person that Jamal appears to be—inside and out?
