Present Day
Emma's POV
My roommate Alana sat down across from me at our kitchen table, handing me a coffee.
We've been living in a house together in LA for two years.
I met her at a bar three years ago, and we've been close friends ever since.
Now? She's my roommate.
"Are you thinking about him again?"
I stirred some sugar into the coffee with a spoon.
"Did I ever finish telling you the story?" I asked.
"I don't think so."
"Do you remember where I left off?"
"The last I remember was how you guys danced in the rain at your uncle's cabin."
"Oh! Okay. I know where to start now."

Six Years Prior
The Saturday Night of that weekend
"Do you have a seven?"
"Go fish." He answered.
We were playing card games on the coffee table. A fire in the fire place, and both of us wrapped in blankets.
It was still raining outside.
I pulled a card from the deck and it was a six.
"Damn it!" I exclaimed.
Ethan laughed at me, and asked if I had a six, and obviously I just pulled one, so he acquired it, making him win the game. I was left with nine cards.
"I win again!"
"Actually I won." I said.
"Hey, I won fair and square."
"Well, I'm the real winner because I get to be your girlfriend."
He crawled towards me until I was laying down and he was hovering over me.
Ethan pressed his lips to mine and hummed into the kiss.
"I guess we're a winning team, huh?" He whispered.
I kissed him, smiling into it until we both pulled away for air.
"Ethan, can I tell you something?"
"Yeah, babe." He said, sitting next to me as I sat up. "What's up, Em?"
I took his hand in mine and squeezed it before I started.
"I just want to tell you that I'm so lucky to have you, and I've never fell this hard for anyone before, and I know we were meant to find each other. There's just something about you, Ethan, and I love you so damn much."
"Awe, Emma. Come here, babe." He said, opening his arms for a hug.
I wrapped my arms around him, and he kissed me on the forehead.
"I love you way more than you know, Emma." He whispered as he held me.
"How did I get so lucky?"
"I guess you were at the right place at the right time. You know, that day Grayson and I saw you at Starbucks before we saw you walking to school?"
"I saw you too. I thought you guys were college kids."
"I saw you, and I knew you were special. It was like my heart could foresee the future, and it knew you already. We have such an amazing connection."
