How It Starts
“Look, I've been trying to find the right moment to tell you this, and there won't ever be a perfect time. I need more than what we have. Jordan makes me feel alive in ways I'd forgotten about. I'm giving you the courtesy of having a say, but by this time tomorrow, I'm moving forward with or without your blessing.”
This is how Alex (Long-term Partner)'s greeting will start.
