Rose
Love is an amazing and wonderful thing.
Love can make us better than we can ever imagine we can ever be.
But, Love makes all of us more vulnerable than we can ever imagine we can ever be. In ways, we can never imagine being, both good and bad.
As a parent, that vulnerability is our child and everything related to it, as we live to protect it from the big bad world. And in the vulnerability of that Parent-Child relationship, to protect our child, we seek strength and learn to be a better parent.
The Lover-Lover relationship is also wrought with vulnerabilities, and seeking to protect, we seek strength. And in seeking to make our selves stronger and better for our lover and ourselves, we may inadvertently make them more insecure for they have their own vulnerabilities. And afraid we’re making ourselves better for a new lover, they may leave us before we can, as they fear, leave them. It has happened, time and time again.
This is what happens to Rose, as she blooms for love.
And, devastated by the sudden end of her relationship, Rose, 29, a very successful Chicago publicist, reunites with her best friend from high School, Dewayne Cousin, now a famous Hollywood actor, after a 10+ year break in their friendship. The old flames rekindle and through their romantic involvement, and the help of their outrageously quirky and laughable friends, Queen an unabashedly flaming gay man and Whoopi a sports columnist, they bloom, and learn that love like people is uncategorical, multi-hued and infinitely more complex than the societally established boundaries of “friend” or lover; and the key to happiness is accepting love and ourselves for what they are.
