Asher, who was usually calm and composed, now spoke with a hint of giddiness. His voice slightly quivered as he tried to contain his joy. "With same-sex marriage being legal in Botvia, this is the perfect time for us to do it."

"Congratulations, Asher," Justin said, his voice deep with a touch of jealousy.

"I've been thinking about this for a while now, but I wasn't sure who I could talk to about it, not even Bella -it just didn't feel right."

"I feel so honored to be the first one you shared this good news with," Justin said. He smiled faintly and continued, "Asher, I genuinely wish you and Arnold a lifetime of happiness together."
