"Just Press Send," is about two boys, with different backgrounds, who both desired the same thing, love. One wanted to experience the love that appeared in movies and the other just wanted to love like he once did before. But love wasn't easy especially when you were Tobias Wach who searched for love in others when he had yet to find love in the most important place or when you were Brandon Hynes who wanted true love but ran from it. However, they couldn't deny the feelings that churned up inside of them when they saw each other for the first time. They were instantly drawn to each other. It was kind of like love at first sight. There were butterflies in the stomach, the heart eyes, and the abnormal beating of the blood pumper. It felt like love. The love they were both missing. Not to mention Valentine's Day was just around the corner. Someone had to make a move and for good reasons. If Brandon and Tobias never met the way that they did then they would have never found out what was truly keeping them from getting the love they desired. All they had to do was make the decision: to press send or to not press send? It was that simple.
