My Paper Planes

It all started with a paper plane. A simple, impulsive gesture—a checklist scrawled onto a scrap of paper, thrown across a room. Are you single? Are you gay? A moment meant to be fleeting. A question meant as a joke. But when Lia catches it, when she marks it and hands it back with nothing but a quiet “Here,” something shifts in Chantel’s world.

She wasn’t supposed to fall for her. Lia wasn’t supposed to say yes to a relationship. And yet, against all odds, they happened. What follows is a love story built on patience, hope, and the unspoken belief that love—if nurtured long enough—can change anything.

But love is never that simple. Sometimes, love is a paper plane—light enough to soar, fragile enough to fall.
