In this chapter, we journey back to the late 1990s and reminisce about meeting a long-time friend at the famous Second Cup steps in Toronto's vibrant gay village. He was just 17 then, and our bond has only grown stronger over the years. Join us as we explore how our friendship has evolved and revisit some cherished memories in one of the city's most iconic spots. Whether you're nostalgic for the past or curious about Toronto's rich history, this chapter is a heartfelt tribute to enduring friendships.
