  Summary

  Everyone loves Meet-Cutes, but what about Meet-Uglies? Jack Kelly and David Jacobs meet for the very first time when they get in a car accident. They're both okay, but their cars are... not. It creates some problems.
  Perspectives of both Jack and David, navigating a very unfortunate and complicated situation.
  Jack feels super guilty, and bends over backwards trying to fix his mistake. But tying up loose ends so he never has to see this guy again... is not exactly the first thing on his mind.
  David initially does not like this Jack fella, who nearly turns his life upside down when he accidentally wrecks their cars with his distracted driving. But once he gets to know him, Jack Kelly turns his life upside down in a totally different way.
