Two Finally become one through God's grace

Makayla still remembered the smell of chocolate milk and panic. It was the first day of second grade, and she had just taken a seat next to a shy, freckled boy named Chase. She had turned to introduce herself, flashing a gap-toothed smile, when his face went pale. “Are you okay?” she had asked. Chase had tried to respond, but instead, he had thrown up—right on her brand-new school uniform. The entire class had erupted in gasps and laughter. Their teacher had hurried Chase to the nurse’s office while Makayla stood frozen in shock, arms outstretched like she could somehow escape the mess. That was how they met. Years later, it became their favorite story to tell. “Love at first sight,” Chase always joked. “I was so overwhelmed by her beauty, my stomach couldn’t handle it.” Makayla would roll her eyes and laugh, reminding him she didn’t speak to him for a full week after the incident. But eventually, he had made it up to her—Years later as they reconnected after going separate ways. From then on, that random day in 2019 they were inseparable—best friends throughout high school until somewhere along the way, friendship turned into something more.
