Love at first sight is a cute start to a story - but there is so much more than comes after. These eight fiction shorts delve into what happens next– the ups, down, the love, laughter, the poor neglected house plants, the dreaded ick, and sometimes - the break up. But the good news is - if you last long enough, you too can bond over adult diapers.
