Love never quits

RICO
I’ve always had a soft spot for my best friend’s younger brother, the one who went off to Hollywood and became a star, only to crash back down to earth with nobody to save him. Years later, my buddy isn’t around when Jesse hits rock bottom…but I am. My plan is pretty extreme, though. Is it crazy to think I can be the one to finally rescue him this time? Or as usual, will it all go up in smoke before I can stop it?

JESSE
Everyone thought I had it made at ten years old. But the second my TV show finished, Hollywood stopped calling, and I spent the next two decades in and out of trouble. The last person I expect to pick me up and put me back on my feet is my life-long crush, firefighter Lieutenant Rico Flores.
But he’s the first person in forever to stop and see me for who I am now, not the character I was all those years ago or the failure I’ve become. Even when I’m awful, he doesn’t give up on me. It’s no surprise that I’m swapping childhood infatuation for real love. But when he suggests getting married so his insurance can send me back to rehab, are we going too far? This is my last chance at recovery, I’m sure. I just don’t know if my heart will survive being his husband when I know he’ll never see me as anything other than a problem, a charity case, his best friend’s messed up little brother.

Right?
