The two of us after watching a movie together thinking a character’s name is Elsa, only to find out years later it is not Elsa but Paula, has been Paula all along. 

 

The two of us discussing a movie we’d seen and a character named Elsa, only to find out later the name is not Elsa but Paula, has been Paula all along.
