I nearly fell on top of her, the closest I’ve ever been to her, and she laughed loudly in my ear, her teeth, still crooked even after two and a half years of braces, smiled up at me in laughter and happiness.
That was when I realized I didn’t want the hottest model to ever walk the earth, or marry my dream celebrity. I wanted her—and that was when I realized that hearts grow up, too.
