There was a time when Olivia and Liam believed that love meant always being strong for each other—never showing cracks, never letting the weight of the world seep into their shared space. But as the years unfolded, they began to realize that love wasn’t about being unbreakable; it was about being real. It was about letting the walls come down, brick by brick until there was nothing left but the raw, unfiltered truth of who they were.
At first, vulnerability felt like stepping into the unknown. It was terrifying to lay bare their fears, their doubts, their insecurities. What if the other saw them differently? What if the cracks in their armor changed the way they were loved? But as they tentatively began to share their deepest thoughts, they discovered something extraordinary: vulnerability didn’t weaken their bond—it strengthened it.
