I love how open we get in our conversations because I usually never open up to people as I did with you [...] I am really lucky being matched up with you as my teammate [...] if it wasn't for you I don't think I would have my driver's permit as I do now! I'm really glad that you and I talk. Thank you so much for being my teammate.”
