Someone who pushes you out of your comfort zone, not because of them doing or saying anything, necessarily, but because they make you want to try new things. They make you want to be daring because maybe something new and scary doesn’t feel quite as scary by their side.”

“Charlotte Thompson, will you marry me?” The smile on her face was both playful and so sincerely happy in a way that she didn’t think anyone but Charlotte could accomplish. “Try to stop me.”
