Kimberly or Kim as she likes to be called is a starting out social worker, hired right after finishing her degree. She specializes in families and teenagers. She is a friendly person, but also very introverted. She hasn't had the best experiences and that has left her weary of trusting new people and letting them into her life.
David Reynolds played by Paul Wesley
David is NYPD Detective. He is nice and takes his job very seriously. He is the middle sibling of three sons and is the black sheep of his family. He is no longer in communication with them because he doesn't share the same beliefs that of the rest of his family. Which is fine with him; he has learned to live without his family and thinks he is better off for it.
Kimberly and David met through work and it was like love at first site. The only small problem is David's family. See, Kim is bi-racial, her mom is black and her dad is white; David doesn't have a problem with this, but his family in another matter considering they believe in white supremacy.
(David will be the main love interest in the show)

Mock Ship War:
- kim_david4ever: They are the cutest couple EVER! I CANT EVEN!
- wadefan99: Are you kidding?! Wade is so much better for her! David is a jerk. He doesn't deserve her.
- kim_david4ever: WHAT?! David is such a good guy! Plus he is sooooo hot and adorable! And I really love the "forbidden love story" type feel to their relationship.
- wadefan99: No. David is bad news and Wade has always been there for her. Anyone can tell how much he cares about her. He would do anything for her. Plus he is intelligent and kind and sweet. He is not bad looking either.
- kim_david4ever: Thats totally not fair! Just because David wasn't able to grow up with Kim like Wade was or just because he isn't half black like Wade doesn't mean Wade deserves her. David cares about her too. Wade can be a real asshole at times. He is always making these stupid remarks about people. Like in 1.02 at the very end.
- wadefan99: That is so not true. People are over reacting way to much about the ending to that episode. It didn't even mean anything.
- eliza_iza_bamf: So I couldn't care less who Kim ends up with, but I totes wanna see flashbacks of Kim and Nikki in high school and/or college. You totes know they hooked up at some point and I WANT TO SEE IT! They had to have! :P
