“I stood there watching the water fall. I saw flashes of our future: shared bites of sandwiches, sweet and sticky with honey. It's a vision that I hope and prayed would come true. She had no idea that I had those thoughts. But, I knew in that moment she was the one and I didn’t ever want to let go ”

“I remember the first time I came to the city during a high school band trip. I grew up in a small town. I’d never seen a place so massive. It felt like I could be anyone here and do anything. It felt safe. For once, I never wanted that band trip to end”
