A birthday wish gives Siobhan Llewellyn far more than she knew in Miao Ling Grace. Grace and Shiv have adjustments galore to go through, including culture shock, language barriers and coming to terms with being open about their relationship.

When I tell this story I usually blank out, relating it to whomever is listening.
It keeps me from being emotional.

From what I've been told, it's unnerving as hell to watch.
