The updates of your adventure with "L" are great! Thank you for sharing. I'm looking forward to reading more, especially with "S" involved.
On a side note, I met the love of my life when I was 32 and she was 24. I know it's not the same age gap you have, but we had 19 wonderful crazy years together.
My only advice is to have fun, and love each other as much as you can
