Summary
Never in Ronnie’s life did she think that she might fall in love with a girl.
She was raised in a traditional Catholic family, with traditional Catholic values. The life she grew up picturing for herself was one with a husband, a small army of kids, and a white picket fence. A normal, quiet life in the countryside with a man who works hard to provide and then comes home to her at the end of each day. The possibility of her life turning out any other way never even occurred to Ronnie.
That is, until Johanna stumbled into her life.
Literally.
*
Or, Johanna and Ronnie's first time meeting.

Summary
“What if he never gets better?”
Brian doesn’t know what to say to that. He thinks for a long moment, trying to fish any coherent thoughts out from somewhere inside the deep, aching sadness that’s swallowing him up inside.

“I don’t know,” he answers finally, honestly.
It seems to be what Roger was expecting. And then,
“I don’t want to lose him, Bri.”
