Summary:
It was difficult to explain to strangers who they were to each other; "best friends" and "coworkers" didn't quite cut it, "we used to date" implied something much different than their real relationship now, "life partner" sounded so official and stuffy, "soulmate" sounded schmoopy, and anything like "partner" or "girlfriend" made it sound like they were actually dating now.
It was so much easier to just say, "this is my Abby," or "this is my Tim."
And for the rest of the team, it was all that was needed.
