Maya blushed, feeling grateful for his support. "Thanks, Chase. I couldn't have done it without you and my friends."
Rachel stood up, her eyes shining with tears. "Maya, we're so proud of you. You deserve all the happiness in the world."
As they toasted to Maya's success, she realized that she had found her tribe - friends who supported her unconditionally and a partner who loved her for who she was.
The night ended with laughter, inside jokes, and memories to last a lifetime. Maya knew that she would always cherish this moment, surrounded by love and support.
