“Love them… but it just isn’t going to work. Alliya finally gets to be who she is, but Shawn just isn’t attracted to females. It makes me sad that it’s very unlikely to work out between them.”
“Agreed. It’s not going to work long term. I can see where they’re both coming from. It’s an unfortunate situation.”
“I don’t dislike either of them, but there’s almost a 40-year age gap between them, it was never going to work out long term. People change and grow up especially when they’re as young as Aliyah was when they met.”
