If you’ve ever stayed up until 3 AM obsessing over a slow-burn WLW ship, rewatched a soap clip on YouTube with subtitles fifty times, or gone all in on a ship because they looked at each other "like that"… congratulations, you've just found your people.

Don't worry, I knew what I was signing up for when I married a crime fighter.
