What a sweet, romantic story. I'd actually love to see it as a short film or as part of a larger work. I mean, there's nothing in here that's groundbreaking or uniquely revelatory, but this is the kind of love story that people who aren't queer grow up on and take for granted.

It's storytelling as nourishment and affirmation, as wisdom even.

Isn't passing on wisdom part of why we tell stories? I think so! And the wisdom you pass on here is just part of what makes the story come alive and resonate with me.
