Romance And Relationships

What links these isn't romance as a genre but connection as a risk—characters who let another person in despite the likelihood of getting hurt, whether that's a stranger during one long conversation, an estranged parent, or a spy trained never to trust. Several pair off unlikely people (a widow and her fiancé's brother, two neurotic strangers, two women guarding old wounds) and let the relationship do the work of exposing what each person has been avoiding about themselves. Even the lighter entries earn their warmth by first admitting how messy, compromised, or fear-driven real intimacy actually is.
