It's been two years since I first bumped into Olivia Popescu. It's been two years since my parents were the ones behind bars. It's been two years since Adam Levignée stopped acting in the glorious LA, and instead puts out songs and poetry books from my flat in Bucharest. Next door neighbours with his girlfriend, whom was recently awarded Author of the Year. He meets up with his best friend Harry Calvin once a month and goes every single weekend to his girlfriends' parents whom he now feels like they are his parents. He even started to speak Romanian without needing Google Translate anymore. I guess you could say his life's great. My life's great. 

I am still going on tour every summer. And I didn't quit being the Adam Levignée forever. I tried, and for 6 months I did. But then I started having an existential crisis because my life was now purposeless. 

Olivia then came up with the suggestion that I don't have to give up, I just have to take control. To be as exposed as I like, not as others do. She's a genius, as always. I am actually making her a hot chocolate right now. We meet up every morning at 5:30 AM sharp to drink coffee (me) and hot chocolate (her - the caffeine still gives her palpitations) and just talk about every single thing that we ever think.

I am in the process of writing my third poetry book and I came up with a movie idea, so I am currently trying to edit my first draft. But I'm not going to act in it. I feel like I should spend some time behind the scenes. 

I get a notification, my girlfriends' mum (who calls me 'darling') sent me a happy birthday text. I love her. She always tries to make me feel welcome, although at first we didn't understand each other. 

I must confess I was terrified her dad would hate me. Until I learnt Romanian we couldn't converse, but we watched football together. I take him to a Wrexham match once a month. He takes me to a Craiova match once a month. It's our thing. I can't believe we have a thing.

Her brother loved me instantly, though. He recognised me because I played a character in his favourite superheroes universe. I won the favourite brother in law challenge without even being officially married yet. Or engaged. But we will, after Olivia feels ready.

I even get along with her sister. We talk business together. 

It's so weird to fit in with a family. To feel like I belong. To feel like I'm loved. 

But Olivia's the leading actress in my life. The way she is hyper focused on everything, the way she won't stop until she succeeds. The way she has her priorities set straight (our 5:30 AM thing is to make sure we see each other daily because if she is falling behind on assignments I am deemed a distraction and distractions have got to go). And if at first I wasn't sure I loved her, now with every passing moment I am more and more certain that I do. It might sound overly dramatic, but with every passing second, I love her more.
