Darren

Single father
Widower
Retired
Three things I never thought I'd be by thirty, yet all my daily reality.
This is not the life I would have chosen, but it's the hand I've been dealt.
I love my daughter.
I loved Belle.
I'm not interested in more heartache.
Relationships are a thing of the past.
Until I meet her -
She's the awakening I desperately need, but one I'm not sure I deserve.

Haddie

Everything happens for a reason.
Time heals all wounds.
You're too young to give up on love.
They say that, but they're wrong.
My world crumbled when my fiancé died.
Then I met him –
He's flawed in the same ways.
Broken in the same places.
Scared of the same things.
He looks at me like I'm his salvation.
And I want to be, but an open heart means risking a broken one.
