Janet's eyebrow cocks trying to figure out that first sentence, but she doesn't ask. She's not sure it's any of her business to ask about someone else's relationship when she's in a complicated one of her own. She and her boyfriend Holden had broken up after her third date, then moved in together and lived platonically for the better part of a year before reconciling. They didn't even know their anniversary date because of the back and forth.

"It took my friends a few months to set a date, too," she admits with a laugh. "And several years to get engaged. They bought a house before he proposed. So this is the culmination of what's already a pretty committed relationship."
