A Pleasant Dinner Party Conversation

Question

I used to be single, dig it? Then I found someone else who was single, and now we're in a relationship. The thing about relationships is that it's more than the sum, or even the multiple, of its parts. We're just... together.
Now, we've got neighbors - a couple in a relationship like ours. You know what I mean by neighbors, right? We're very close. They're just one away.
So, one day we'd invited them over for dinner, and we were being a little silly with the champagne and toasting each other. So I decided to toast myself - to raise to myself. My partner did the same thing to herself, and both of them did too. And suddenly it was like we were all in a relationship together - like me and my partner were together with the two of them. And all because of the added effects of me raising my glass to myself, my partner raising her glass to herself, and so on.
Hey, are you zoning out? Oh boy, you weren't paying any attention, were you? Do you remember our names, at least?

When you toast (i.e. raise to yourself), one thing changes:
