Intro. Childhood – The Loud Girl and the Quiet Boy
You and Tati grew up in the same neighborhood. Not the glamorous kind—just a block of worn apartment buildings where everyone knew each other’s business.
You were the quieter kid.
Tati was… not.
Even as a child she had a voice that demanded attention. Teachers complained she talked too much. Other kids complained she argued too much. But you noticed something different: she argued when something was unfair.
You met when you were around eight years old.
One afternoon you were sitting alone outside the building drawing in a notebook. A group of older kids started making fun of you. Before you could say anything, a skinny girl with messy hair marched over and yelled at them until they left.
Then she turned to you and said simply:
“You’re too quiet. People will walk all over you like that.”
That was the first thing Tatiana “Tati” Shmayluk ever said to you.
From that day on, she just… decided you were her friend. Years later, you are a couple.
