A pair of teenagers with cystic fibrosis meet in a hospital and fall in love, though their disease means they must avoid close physical contact.
Okay, Stella. Don’t tell me that the one time you’re interested in some guy, he’s a CFer.
– Poe
I just helped him set up his med cart. That’s it. That’s all.
– Stella
I know you, Stella. Organizing a med cart is like foreplay.
– Poe
Five feet apart. Deal? Are you in?
– Stella
I’m so in.
– Will
Phase one clinical trials only started only eighteen months ago, so we need to be patient, and Will needs to help us with that. The risk of cross infection will be even higher now, so…
– Dr. Noor Hamid
Don’t cough on any other CFers.
– Will
Well, don’t get close enough to touch them for their safety and yours.
– Dr. Noor Hamid
Six feet at all times. I got it.
– Will
Will, in order for this to work, you need to keep up with your regimen.
– Dr. Noor Hamid
God, you’re beautiful, and brave. I wish I could touch you.
– Will
Like all kids with cystic fibrosis, I was born terminal, which doesn’t necessarily mean I’m going to die tomorrow, but I could die tomorrow. Anyone could die tomorrow. I just have a little bit less time than everyone else. My lungs are at about fifty percent function right now. So at this rate, Dr. Hamid says that I’ll need a transplant by the time I’m a junior in high school. That’ll be fun.
– Stella
Look, I get that you have some kind of save the world hero complex going on, but can you leave me out of it?
– Will
These meds are not optional.
– Stella
Yeah, that’s probably why they keep shoving them down my throat.
– Will
You’re making me crazy.
– Stella
This whole time, I’ve been living for my treatments, instead of doing my treatments so that I can live. I want to live. It’s just life, Will. It’ll be over before we know it.
– Stella
I like seeing you like this.
– Julie
Like what?
– Will
Hopeful.
– Julie
Why didn’t I pack anything nice?
– Stella
Oh, because you always pack for a hot hospital romance.
