Pipe Dreams - Are your dreams real? Or are they pipe dreams?

New to the Interent, 29-year old Mia has found a new hobby - online chatting. It provided enough "im"personal stimulation without having the cares & concerns of being in a romantic relationship. Having a romantic attachment was the last thing she was looking for. She had the scar tissue on her heart to prove it. It would take a 23-year old plumber from NY named Gabe to change her mind.

Thinking he is her former love Jaden, she sends him an instant message. After realizing it’s just a case of “mistaken identity,” they continue to chat & realize that they have a genuine connection. Although she agrees to call him, she is still determined not to let Gabe get too close.
