This is Ruhi’s place, a friend of mine, and Amirhossein, my boyfriend. Ruhi is such a fascinating person. His house has an old-school, grandmother’s house vibe, full of antiques. He’s a huge tea lover, and when it comes to cooking, he’s got some serious skills. He’s from northern Iran, around Gilan. Honestly, I’ve never met anyone as captivating as he is. Even when he’s going through the roughest patches in his life, he always carries himself with so much poise and presence. Ruhi is a pro at navigating social situations and managing relationships. He means a lot to me because every time we hang out, I’m guaranteed to have a good time. He’s also really into beer, liquor, and especially meat. We visited him during a tough time in his life, but I always want to see him smiling and happy."
