GRIFFIN

I'm tired of apologizing for my life. Of the life I like plenty fine, thanks. I'm tired of saying things I don't mean and no longer pretend things I don't feel. F*ck all that, and to anyone that says otherwise.

So yeah, I'm a little lost and trying to figure myself out. Nothing wrong with that. My job sucks and hopefully not forever. (Still figuring that out.) I have no idea what I'm doing but why is that bad? My relationship status is set at fail, but I'm okay with that, too. Really.

When I meet Wade, I can't wait to forget him. And he feels the same way. At last, someone who gets me. Go figure.

WADE

I don't need help getting dates or getting laid. Got that covered. Thanks. I don't want a wife or kids or 2.5 whatever.

Why is focusing on my career over having a family considered the worst thing ever? It's perfectly normal—why does everyone act like it's not? It's what I want and give zero f*cks if people disapprove. Screw them.

Meeting Griffin was one of those moments I never wanted but it happened and so be it. I don't care to know her. And the feeling is mutual. Honestly, it's refreshing. And very unexpected.

***Unconventional romance. Expect the unexpected.
