Good evening. I'm Priya's friend from the kitchen we all worked in after college, and I asked for a minute because some people make a room kinder just by walking in.
I still think about the night the oven broke and Priya fed twenty people from a single skillet and a lot of laughter. That's who she is. Maya, James — may you keep that same unhurried warmth in the ordinary Tuesdays ahead.
Good evening. I'm the maid of honor, and I've been practicing this in the car for a week, which Elena would tell you is very on-brand for me and not at all for her.
Elena is the person who remembers the thing you mentioned once, and then shows up with it months later. If I had to wish one thing for these two, it's that they keep being that kind of careful with each other.
Good evening. I sat two desks over from David for nine years, which is long enough to know that he never took the last of the good pens, and that he always had time for the question you were nervous to ask.
David, thank you for the work and the example. May the next chapter be unrushed, and may you feel how glad we are to have worked beside you.
