December 5th

We fist bu us as the dynamic duo behind the multimillion-dollar tech startup fire contracts with the US Defense Departe for the modern battlefield

India's excited to be here and give the presentation I'ether She looks a in her black dress and heels, her hair down, her face fresh and s black, shirt and slacks

We're a pair

Our tag-team presentation, we call it, is perfect – just like our relationship We've rehearsed this for a couple of weeks and have it down pat When the announcer finally calls out our naether to a roar of applause India starts the video while I begin delivering the presentation We each have our own sections, and the presentation goes seae of our satellite in the production facility and then on the top of a Falcon 9 rocket, being delivered into orbit India talks about the modern battlefield and the importance of communication for the soldiers and decision-makers She tells the story of her brother and how he lost his life in an ay could have seen beforehand, and possibly prevented

The crowd is riveted as she tells the story of Steven's death and of the founding of our coe in Pacifica, CA to a multimillion-dollar tech coy Corridor just outside of Langley, Virginia

When the presentation is over and the lights come up in the auditorium, there's a loud and appreciative round of applause and even soe, shaking the hand of the announcer in the process

When we're finally behind the curtain, I grab India and kiss her I'm overwhelmed with how successful we've been these past few months since we decided to come out to our staff and friends

We shocked none of them in the process

We were the last to know, it seeht a place in Virginia Noe divide our titon and our primary contractor – the US Governalow We wanted it to reflect both our tastes and provide us with access to the beach

Now that our presentatio

n is finished, we have a week off and are taking a cruise in the Mediterranean as soon as we can get to the airport and catch our flight to Ro cruise froinia

Life is good
