Cecily, on the reality of her existence.
Cecily: I am very bossy, highly together, and wish for the stability of marriage often, in theory. In practice, I am a person who says “meow” on the regular.

Cecily: I met somebody who has changed my perspective. He opened me up to a more humble, more relaxed side. I am going through a period of introspection.

Alexander: I have only two settings: monogamy and unrequited longing.
