Alex:
Going to the beach with my friends for a week before sophomore year of college seemed like the perfect way to take control of my life and get out from under my parent's thumbs.
Then I met a man who made me feel things I didn't know were possible. We spent the week together, and I gave him a part of me I had never given anyone before. It was beautiful and better than I ever dreamed.
Like most good things in life, though, it was too good to be true.
I went back to my regular life and tried to put the man of my dreams out of my mind, only to find out he left me with a part of him I would cherish forever.

I found the woman of my dreams, my soulmate, on a beach during a chance encounter. I had everything I could ever want and felt complete for the first time in my life.
Then she slipped through my fingers in the middle of the night, taking my heart with her.
Four years later, I finally found her again, right in my home town and with a little boy that looks just like me.
I learned from my past mistakes, and now that I have her again, I won't be letting her slip away.
I'm keeping her.
