Evaristo Salas Jr.

We met...

Almost, it's been about four years already that we've been together.

We met a little bit, well, a few months after the broadcasting of The Wrong Man.

She had watched it and was really moved by it, you know, and she has kind of really kind of a big heart for like social justice.

In the Netherlands, she used to go to like protests and those kind of things, and she's always there kind of, you know, fighting for the disenfranchised, you know, in one form or another, whether it's either through writing letters or showing up to protests, you know, that's always been a part of her spirit.

And so she wrote me a letter and explained to me how...

horrible it was to kind of see it, you know, and how moving it was, you know, and that she explained that she had a two-year-old son, and she explained that for her it was like I couldn't imagine that happening to my own son.

How would I take it as a parent?

And that's how it started.

And then we just kind of grew from there.

She's really kind of a deep, intelligent person, and her conversations are very enlightening, and her compassion for other people, you know, it was really moving to me, you know, and I have that kind of same heart.

And we just bonded on so many different levels, you know, and

And she's really, like, well-read.

Her mother is a teacher or a professor and used to make her read, like, when she was a kid, she used to read Plato's Republic and Socrates and all these philosophers, on top of what she always used to read on herself.

And I studied that for years just because I enjoyed the wordplay and the understanding of the world around us.

So that gave us a wealth of things to talk about.

And, you know, as we got to know each other, we grew in that kind of stuff.

And then...

I think it was maybe a month or two after that we kind of thought that, okay, well, there's something here, something that we need to look into or at least, you know, explore.

Over the time that passed, you know, our relationship grew stronger.
