They went out that night where they kissed, hugged, and danced, but Isabel refused to have sex with Gabe. However, Gabe was relieved, since he had not told Isabel he was trans.
“I cannot be away from this woman. I love Isabel.”
The morning after he met Isabel, Gabe thought of telling her he was trans. He texted her, and she told him it was okay because she saw him as a man. Gabe thought things couldn’t have worked out any better in his favor. Gabe relocated to Medellín a couple of months later where he rented an apartment and got Isabel to live with him. He had been going back and forth ever since. Gabe was moving to Colombia permanently because he didn’t want to be away from Isabel anymore.
