She said she wouldn't, but she did. She said she couldn't, but she changed her mind. That is what love does to you. She is in her mid-30s, and I am about double that. She wrote a story, and after reading it, I found so many similarities that I had to comment and send her a friend request. To my surprise and excitement, she accepted.
