Think about the last time you checked out a couple in a café. You probably noticed their vibe before their age. Did they laugh easily? Did they touch each other’s hands? That’s what matters when you’re the one sitting across from them.
We care about Davina and Michael’s age gap because it challenges our little mental boxes. We’ve been taught that relationships should be “age-appropriate,” like pairing a white wine with fish. But humans aren’t wine, and love doesn’t follow a menu.
It’s a bit like that friend you have who married someone from a different country. You worried about the culture clash, but now they send you postcards from adventures you’d never dare to take. Different can be beautiful.
