I prepared the first business registration.
I negotiated the first vehicle lease.
I arranged insurance, processed permits, created payroll records, and tracked every payment after midnight while Gavin drove airport routes before sunrise.

At first, I stayed silent because I did not want to embarrass him.
Later, I stayed silent because correcting him would have revealed how far apart we had already grown.
