Excerpt

Shawn Adjusts His Dating Profile

From Chapter 2


On the bus ride to work, something urgent pressed against his chest. His grandma wouldn’t be around forever to take care of him, to help him navigate the world, to believe in his future when he couldn’t believe in it himself.

He pulled out his phone and opened his dating profile. He crafted a new introductory message, more honest than any he’d written before: Looking for someone who understands that love isn’t perfect, but it’s worth fighting for. Someone who won’t give up on me when I can’t always give them what they expect. I’m autistic, I struggle with social cues, and I might accidentally hurt your feelings. But I’ll love you with everything I have.

He stared at what he wrote for a long moment. His finger hovered over the submit button. This is who I am. Shouldn’t someone know that from the start? But he remembered Lindsay’s face when he’d mentioned being on the spectrum, the way her smile had shifted from genuine to polite. He remembered Emily throwing water at him and Anna walking away mid-conversation.

He deleted the words. Too much truth for a first message. Maybe too much truth, period.

Instead, he simply wrote: “Hi.”

And started searching again.
