One hand squeeze for the little girl who would chat with me at midnight. She taught me that it’s the smallest moments that will stick with you. One for the girl who turned me down, who wasn’t ready for us. She taught me to be patient, that waiting for what I wanted would make it all the sweeter. And one for the woman who took a leap of faith and drove around while I tried to convince her to fall for me. She taught me that you’re never too old to play pretend.
