My Zeal Always Outpaces His Warmth

Summary

For the three years we dated, Jimmy proudly wore the badge of an emotionally stunted guy who just didn't get romance.

So my best friend, Poppy, stepped in to be his wingwoman.

From massive life plans to the most intimate details of our bedroom life, he consulted his guru Poppy on absolutely everything.

Whenever I voiced my discomfort, Jimmy always had the same excuse.

"Nora, stop overreacting. Poppy knows you better than anyone."

"I only ask for her help to keep our relationship solid."

Then came the day of my company physical. The doctors found a suspicious shadow on my lung.
