Kindle Notes & Highlights
Our souls formed an impenetrable bond the day we first met, and since then, it’s only gotten stronger.
That was the day I realized that we were so much more than just best friends. I was in love with her and knew that I was going to spend the rest of my life by her side. Don’t get me wrong, I always knew she was it for me, but there was something about the way the sun lit her face and the way she smiled at me.
