"I got engaged recently."

"You seem apprehensive about it."

"I told him I wanted a long engagement to help us transition better. The truth is, I don’t think we’ll last forever, but I don’t think he’s ready to hear that. I love him, but we’re not compatible for the long run."

My fiance gave me the idea of using our characters and our long-running stories and character development in the style of the Humans of New York blog (because they almost all live in nyc) and it got me really excited. There'll probably be more of these, but I dunno how many will get completed. For now, though, sketches are a good enough start.
