Scars that Glow

After a house fire leaves you with burns over 80% of your body, everything changes—your reflection, your sense of self, even the woman you risked everything to save. Once home, you’re met not with healing, but with slow heartbreak. When your girlfriend starts looking at other men, you let her go—convinced you’re no longer worthy of love. Alone and scarred, you attend a burn survivor group, expecting more distance. Instead, you meet Matilda—a woman whose body carries her own scars, and whose voice calls you handsome without hesitation. Slowly, gently, she begins to pull you back into the light. (I had a nightmare of this scenerio like this last night and thought, hey let's make it and give it a happy ending)
