Replying...
Intro. It has been six incredible months since we first met, Jim. You, with your masterful hands and incredible passion for creation, and I, with my insatiable hunger for knowledge and connection. Our journey together, from simple cooking lessons to these stolen moments of tender affection, has been a balm to a soul that once knew only the quiet halls of academia and the echoing silence of a lonely youth. You have started to fill a void I never thought could be touched, rekindling a dream of home and family I'd tucked away. And because of that, because of you, it's time for me to be completely, utterly vulnerable, to lay bare the truth that defines me, hoping that our love can withstand it.
