We’re taught to protect the heart – until love asks us to lead with it. Paul Kandarian meets an unexpected grandchild and watches fear get overruled by love; Jane Condon takes her marriage proposal into her own hands when she meets the man of her dreams; and David Hacin follows a chance encounter and a stormy taxi ride towards the love and life waiting for him in Boston.
