Homey – Lover – Friend
We started in the driveway - long conversations about nothing important, awkward chuckles, and slow beginnings that didn't need to be anything more than they were. No pressure, just presence. What began as two acquaintances passing time turned into the foundation of everything we didn't yet know we'd need. Kevin is quiet, measured, and always… Continue reading Homey – Lover – Friend
