What Do You See When You Look At Me?
Raised as an only child, in a happy, loving home, Liya was surrounded by love at every turn. She saw it in the way her father looked at her mother, in the little gestures, and the grand ones. However, when diagnosed with Autism (ASD) as a child, her parents feared that her social awkwardness, lack of interest in physical touch, social interactions, and displays of affection, would hold her back. Not just in school, but in life and love, as well.
When a phone call, in her third year of University, alters the life she had worked so hard to create for herself, Liya decides to return home, in the hopes she can salvage some semblance of what she once had and keep her family above water. When, upon her return to New York two years later, Liya obtains a writing job at a top Engineering magazine publisher and soon finds herself knee deep in the Biomedical Engineering world, in the middle of Toulouse, France, with the weight of her first major article on her back, and a promise to a friend that she would let go for once and 'try'. To let what happens, happen. So, when a stubborn, raven-haired man insists on taking her to dinner, she keeps her promise and tries. Tries and hopes she doesn't regret it in the morning.
