We crossed paths in 2020.
Through quiet glances and passing moments, our awareness of one another slowly sharpened. Small gestures of interest—subtle, but never entirely hidden. As often happens when curiosity grows between two people, there came the gentle testing of one another: a search for passion, for likeness of mind, for a natural harmony of spirit.
Our playful tension did not go unnoticed. Others observed, wondered, and formed their own quiet conclusions. The veil between us began to lift.
Like so many stories of affection told before ours, the path was not entirely unfamiliar. What poets and novelists once imagined, Shakespeare, Tolstoy, we began to experience for ourselves.
Does love always fade? How does it continue to burn with the brightness of youth? What does it mean to be truly for one another?
These are questions we still carry with us.
And so the adventure continues.
