In the halls of UNIT a group of people are laughing at a section of a news article dated 22nd of October 2022; all of them are blowing off some steam after escaping death yet again. "Leo, you will meet your soulmate in a hot place. At first they are trying to be someone else. You read right through them. You will be their second great love. They love a good sports game just like you. They would follow you to anything. Had a hard childhood, being raised by a single-parent of the same gender as they are. Your soulmate is a little taller than you. They make sure you eat even on their busiest days. Through their first love, they might have a step child, or a step grandchild. Before the death of their first love they tried too hard to connect with them. Now the two are very close. You admire it and once you admit feelings hope their now family will accept you."

Ace stops reading as the rest goes into more detail of the man next to her. Tegan smirks knowingly that the article was talking about Graham. Ace looks everywhere but at the man that is watching her, as Yaz pushes the computer in front of Graham. "Your turn old man."

"I just had my 58th birthday a month ago. I am not old."

"Then read it outloud," Yaz looks around Ace is looking everywhere except at Tegan and Graham. "I think we need to hear if our suspicions are true."

"What suspicions," asks Ace.

"Oh just that Geminis match up with Leos," Tegan announces, Ace looks panicked, gets up and moves to grab Graham's hand and they rush away. While this was going on Graham had quickly read it and knew it was all what they expected.

Once safely outside, Ace gets them to her car. "Ace, you know they will just read it anyway."

"Of course I know that, but I don't need some silly article telling me I belong with someone."

"I was able to read it, and yeah it talked about you."

"How," she demands, folding her arms.

"Half of it was the same as yours, except that they hide behind a tough exterior, but you will learn of a soft side they have as they help one of your friends through a loss."

"Like I did with Yaz."

"Yeah, look Ace, I know horoscopes are bullcrap, but what if I was feeling it all already."

"What that you and I should be together," she throws her arms up in the air.

"Yes, look; I can see you don't feel the same way. I can't stop how I feel."

"Graham, shut up for a minute. When did you start to feel like this for me?"

"When I saw you confort Yaz."

"Graham," she gasps, "that was nearly two years ago."

"One year, six months and fifteen days."

"You remember that much, but couldn't tell me closer to then?"

"I tried many times; each time I chickened out."

"When was the first time?"

"You remember when I took you to that fancy dinner?"

"Which one, we have gone a few. You have even been my plus one to the few charity events or galas I went to."

"Has anyone from your professional life asked if we are dating?"

"Yes."

"Ace, I think we have been denying things all along."

"Like what?"

"Look Yaz and Tegan are coming out."

"No Graham, answer me."

"Everyone can see that we like or love each other."

"Which one are you?"

"Love, I feel like I have loved you since I met you."

"Hmm."

"Ace."

"Shush, I'm thinking, yes, I love you." Graham stands there in silence as Tegan and Yaz stop to watch the scene. Ace gets a smile on her face before grabbing Graham by the lapels of his jacket and pushing him up against the car and kissing him hard.
