Feaured in issue 27 and online on Together Journal

I thought Leighton was so amazing, with his long hair, walking barefoot around Wellington. We balance each other, as I am quite organised and Leighton is relaxed.

The following day, he arranged a private boat to stay overnight in Ha Long Bay. This was his original proposal plan, but he forgot to tell the crew he’d already done it, so he had to pretend to propose again, as they’d set up leaves and petals in the shape of a heart on a beach.
