Love stories usually start off cliche, but this one started off with sickness. As Lizaida is getting ready for her shift at the nursing home, she sees a status posted by Valerie stating how sick she is, and how she wishes to get better. She messages Valerie if she needed her to bring her any medication, in which Valerie replies, "You really are so sweet to me. Thank you so much." Let's talk about before the sickness, to get a little glimpse of why Valerie felt so comfortable to message her back– the ladies had been talking over messages for only a week, and deep conversations over FaceTime from sunset until sunrise. Lizaida saw this as an opportunity to finally meet the woman she has been swooning over, and take proper care of her. The moment she pulled up to the barbershop Valerie was working at– a message of, "I'm here, love." sprung Valerie out the door of that very barbershop, to a woman she didn't know she'd adore so much at that time. As Lizaida is preparing the medicine by her car, for Valerie to take– Valerie notices the scar on Lizaida's right side of her lip and instead of asking how Lizaida got it, she merely kissed it. What Valerie didn't know is that in that very moment she kissed a battle wound of skin cancer and made Lizaida feel like she didn't need to have this insecurity of hiding it when it came to the right person. From that day on, they've been inseparable– which lead them to picking a life long journey of truly caring and loving each other, never to tip toe around any insecurities, because they choose to embrace them all.
