Mitchell, and he’s great. He’s my partner, and he really cares about me. No matter what, he believes in

though we haven’t been going out for very long, I really like him. I think we could be really good

together, and we have time to get to know each other, anyway. Things move fast in our world, and we

both want the same things. That’s what really matters.
