A few years ago, Brian would’ve defined home by means of address, postal code and his name tag on the front door. These days, home was where Justin was, plain and simple.

He smiles at me when he sees me at the baggage claim, says nothing before he kisses me; he’s still kissing me when the obnoxious sirens start clanging and the suitcases start tumbling onto the belt. He can kiss me and watch for his luggage at the same time. He knows how to multi-task.

My attraction to Brian has many facets. There are the reasons that everyone is attracted to him—because he’s beautiful, confident, and unbelievably smart, but then there are other reasons that few understand. Brian has an intensity about him that rivals the best book you’ve ever read or the most suspenseful movie you’ve ever seen. Every moment with him feels saturated—heavy and full, almost optimized, as if there’s nothing else I should be doing.

What happens when Mr. Girraffeman won't leave?

It's time to say yes.
