We grew up together, rode the same school bus and hung out with the same people. In 8th grade, Shawn asked me to go to our Graduation Dance with him, I said yes. In high school and college, we remained friends. We didn't talk much except for the yearly "Happy Birthday" texts. On my 22nd birthday, Shawn texted me and suggested we "get a drink or some coffee and catch up”, we did, and the rest is history!
