After Don disclosed his plans to Allan, a wave of emotions washed over his partner. Allan's eyes welled up with tears, and his chest tightened with a surge of affection and respect. He rushed towards Don, embracing him tightly, his heart pounding with overwhelming joy.

Allan kissed Don tenderly, his tears trickling down their intertwined faces. "From today," Allan choked out between his sobs, "you are my wife in every sense of the word. You are a woman, and I will treat you as such."

Allan's acceptance and support filled Don with a sense of relief and joy. He held Allan tighter, soaking in his warmth, realizing that he had indeed found a home in Allan's arms. It was a significant step in their relationship, one that promised a future filled with mutual respect, understanding, and love.

With the dawn of a new day, they embarked on a new journey together, a journey of discovery and acceptance. Their first step? Shopping for women's clothing, a seemingly trivial activity, but it was a symbolic start to Don's journey of transitioning. They laughed and cried, sharing this joyous moment, which marked the beginning of a whole new chapter in their lives.
