Do you believe someone can change your whole perspective on life? I didn’t, but I do now…
It all happens when I meet my sexy neighbor, Evan Taylor.
My name’s Francesca, better known as Frankie, and I’ve been hiding behind my camera for years. It’s what I know and love- not to mention the best way to disguise myself. It’s easy to make life look perfect from this side, even when yours is in shambles. My chronic illness is my biggest insecurity, and what I not only hide from myself but from the world. Good thing I have a group of friends who can supply me with massive overloads of cupcakes, or life would totally stink.
Brody’s always been my crutch, but I knew deep down that he wouldn’t be the one I’d end up with. We just had to find a way to let the past go as we moved forward with our search for happiness. He’ll always be my hero, but sometimes in life, you need more than a cape.
Evan Taylor is exciting and doesn’t expect me to give him the world. He accepts me for who I am with no additional pressure. Evan’s also the one who can offer me the one thing I think I can’t give him – life. With the passion and desire that we hold for each other–it might be enough to win in the end and come out from behind the camera.

I’ve been back in Atlanta for two months, and it feels like I’ve been gone for a year. The girls are still the same, but everything else around me is different. At night, I lay down and think on what it would’ve been like if I wouldn’t have left for those few months. Would I have fallen harder for Brody? Would I have the opportunities that I have now in my career? Would I have bought this house, or still be living in my apartment in the city? I have no idea, but I do know that I can’t dwell over the past. I have to keep looking at the future–making plans for the next stage in my life. If I don’t do this, I’ll sink back into the deep depression that I was in before I went to New York. Don’t get me wrong, I love how my friends are happy and their lives are full of joy and love. It’s just not in the cards for me anymore. The dreams that I had as a child are gone. The white picket fence–destroyed. The butterflies that I thought I’d have when I found my one true love–vanished. The giggling kids that I envisioned running around the grassy backyard–terminated. This is why I left… Now, I ask—why did I return? Was I truly ready for this life again? Was I ready to face the fact that Brody moved on and might’ve found his other half? No, I wasn’t ready for any of this. However, I’ve been giving myself a pep talk daily to make this work, to stop running from the monster that grows within me, to try and let people in when all I really want to do is hide.
I knew things were going to be awkward with Brody, I just never expected it to be like this. Since the gender reveal at Zara and Hatcher’s last month, I’ve seen Brody on three different occasions. Once next door while he was visiting Hatcher, at the bakery, and then five minutes ago when I literally bumped into him and his so-called girlfriend.
