After a lifetime of feeling abandoned and deficient, am I ready for love?

Liam

Ive always been obsessed with my phone, constantly chasing likes and validation through pictures of my body. But after attending Noah and Brodys 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 Noahs and Brodys 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 cant resist the way he makes me feel, and I find myself falling for him. Hes 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?
