Unexpected Love

I'm 32.

You're 20.

I'm French-Italian-American.

You're Japanese-American.

Our mothers were once coworkers.

You're gorgeous.

Me... well, I could improve...

But we really, honestly, truly have a connection...

We've discussed so many things over these past two years, and grown to understand each other.

I'm a mid-level manager at an organic food market, and you're in college to become a nurse.

We met a month after you graduated high school. You had just gotten out of a relationship with some dude who left you for some floozy, and I'd been out of a relationship for ten years.

I know this may seem weird/creepy to many, but...

But my mom is 61, and after my parents divorced, she eventually remarried to a guy who's only 57. My dad? Well, he's 60 and in a relationship with a woman who's 68.

So is it really too extreme? ... I don't think so... There's been worse, there's been better...

My dearest Chloe...

My lovely Chloe...

I know it may seem a little early in our relationship to say this, but... I think I love you...

No, I *know* I love you, but...

I think I'm in love with you...

I'm not sure I'm ready to propose, but when I do, I pray to all holy forces that you say yes without hesitation.

Chloe, I... I can't imagine life without you by my side.

Chloe Maya...

You're an angel...

I love you, Chloe...
