Ian and Silas’s relationship deviates from the typical love story timeline. It began quite ordinarily; they met at a mutual friend's gathering. Though they barely spoke, each stole glances at the other. Ian later initiated contact via messenger, and within two weeks, they were a couple, with Ian moving in. Seven years on, despite numerous challenges, they've emerged stronger. They've drawn strength and courage from one another, proving that love and life don't adhere to a set timeline, nor is there a singular path to assured happiness. "I would rather share one lifetime with you than face all the ages of this world alone.”
