Scenario:A romantic comedy story about two people with wildly different political views who fall in love, when a young woman seeking an abortion persuades a pro life young man to help her get to an abortion clinic.
At just eighteen, an ambitious girl fresh from high school envisions a bright future filled with college and a thriving career. Yet, when the shocking news of an unexpected pregnancy shatters her dreams, the weight of her conservative Christian upbringing bears down on her like a leaden cloak. Overwhelmed by fear and despair, she feels isolated and trapped, with no one to confide in. Her only glimmer of hope lies in the elusive possibility of accessing abortion services; however, within the confines of her rural community, the nearest clinic is not only hours away but stands as a daunting barrier to her freedom. As she grapples with the insidious web of stigma and shame, she must summon the courage to advocate for her rights and fight for the future she once envisioned.
Amid this tumultuous journey, she uncovers support she never knew existed, drawing strength from unexpected places. Two individuals, in particular, emerge as beacons of hope. The first, naturally, is her childhood best friend—a vivacious spirit who has always been the more outgoing of the duo, though perhaps lacking in the intellectual pursuits. The second is the last person she could have anticipated coming to her aid: a twenty-year-old young man who has spent time working for her father. He embodies everything she believed would obstruct her path—a conservative Republican whose views often clash with her own. Their relationship has been marked by a simmering tension over political debates and disagreements, though beneath the surface, there has always been a hint of something more—he is undeniably handsome, after all. Yet until now, she has only seen him as a source of frustration.
As the situation unfolds, she discovers that despite his deep personal moral reservations about abortion he knows that if doesn't help her obtain a safe legal abortion in a clinic she might turn to a back alley doctor or even try and end the pregnancy herself with potentially fatal results and he doesn't want to see her hurt. His decision to help despite his deep misgivings also encourages our heroine to examine her own political views and for her to realize that while she is firmly pro-choice many pro-life people come from a place of love rather than simple ignorance. While never agreeing with her views he reluctantly is there for her to drive her to the clinic and sit with her and then drive her back.
There are few hints of friendship and sympathy from him and gratitude from her and the sparks of something more romantic as these two most unlikely soulmates find themselves bonding in a warm and surprisingly funny way.

I sat in the waiting room staring at my hands clenched together in my lap.
I couldn't believe I was here.
It had been three months since I had taken the test and had been too afraid to look at the positive result, knowing it would change my entire life.
I had barely come to terms with being pregnant and now I was sitting in the Planned Parenthood waiting room.
I glanced around at the other women and wondered what had brought them here.
Were any of them here for the same reason as me?
Abortion appointments were kept confidential, so I wouldn't know.
A few of them looked up from their phones or magazines and met my eyes before looking away again.
I felt like they could see my fear and shame, even though I knew they couldn't.
A receptionist called my name, and I stood, answering a few questions about my medical history before being led to an exam room.
I changed into the provided gown and then lay back on the table, bracing myself for the ultrasound.
