This was a lovely read, I think it’s perfect in its own little way, I feel like I could connect to this story on a personal level. It’s hard to find stories that show an actual relationship typically stories show the build up but we got to witness the growth of a relationship from the youths perspective. I also met my partner when I was in high school so it was relatable having to see the stages of liking, love, lust. They showed that as they got closer together they genuinely liked each other more and more, and that’s how relationships should be, in my own relationship I found that the more years go by the deeper of love I fall into. Thanks for sharing this lovely story.
