Dear Fonseca
Please do not make fun of me for what I am about to tell you. My third cousin and I have started dating. Only one person knows about this. They say we should break it off. My cousin and I are in love and very protective of one another. We are also very defiant and think no one has the right to tell us what we can and can't do. Our heads tell us this is wrong, but our hearts say this is right. Which one should we listen to?
