You've got to have an idea about what love is, right? Some believe it's destiny, or a spur of the moment emotion, and others enjoy using science to work out what it really is. But everyone has an idea, or preference. Not Lucas.
Lucas was completely oblivious to love. Growing up as a child of divorce, his single father told him about love, placing it as a stupid, unreliable emotion that was just a plague in a normal human's life. So that's how he viewed it, but you can't expect him to not get curious.
Alexander Davis Smith, or Alex to you or me, wasn't as torn between his view of love. He thought it was compete and utter bullshit. Never had he even ponder on the issue. There's no love, or even real happiness, in his opinion. He believed in human attraction being nothing more than how someone's body is viewed. He's never felt love. He believed he never would.
But c'mon, don't you think they'd be cute together?
Obviously, they'll meet. Sparks will fly and something will happen. But what if Alex refuses to accept the fact that maybe love isn't just an animalistic instinct and based purely off lust? Will he try to run from this new found emotion? Or will he just give up and fall hard?
All he knew was one thing. That he needed to ask one vital question;
"Am I broken?"
When Chef Margot loses her beloved restaurant to her cheating ex-fiance, her best friend, single dad Nathan, steps in with an unexpected offer to help her start over. As they collaborate, sparks fly-but can they overcome their complicated pasts for a chance at real love?
