"For the presentation?"

"For the 'Why You're an Amazing Uncle’ section. It's going in right after the real estate market analysis for potential future homes."

Trent's laugh echoed down the hall. "Only you would include a real estate analysis in a love declaration."

Presentation Objective

To provide comprehensive evidence supporting the transition from temporary marriage arrangement to permanent partnership, with detailed analysis of past indicators, present compatibility metrics, and future growth potential.

Key Deliverable
