Chapters
We were on our way to a friend's birthday in the Gables, and we went there. You went in your car? I went in my car. I was like, I don't want to. I was so upset with you. And when we were in the dinner, you texted me across the table, and you're like, can you go outside? And we went outside and you said, can we hug it out? And at that point, it was like, we can't agree on some things. We couldn't come to terms. We couldn't see eye to eye. And it was almost like permission to. Okay, then don't. Don't agree. Don't say it. Agree to disagree. Agree to disagree. Let's just hug it out. Let's let love triumph over disagreement and differences. And that marked me because sometimes you don't get to talk it through because you're not going to get anywhere, you know, or at least you're not going to get to where you want to get to. So just. Just love, let love triumph.
