We have now left the store and are out of ear shot so I said, "You dated that?" and she's a terrible person, I get to shame her if I want to. 

"Believe me, I'm embarrassed too." he responded with a chuckle. 

Our hands are still interlocked but this time, there's no part to play. 

Best friends, am I right?

*****

To know Dionne Adler was to know what true peace was... or that's how it appears. Her greatest friends were the words written on pages that either famous authors wrote, her father's or sometimes her own. She always got good grades in school because she wasn't one of those people that would prioritize relationships rather than her future. Not that romance ever interested her anyway. At least until him. He was a breath of fresh air after being suffocated for so long. She didn't know what drove her to him but she had to have him. 

Grayson Spade was your classic hopeless romantic. He always wanted what he couldn't have for the thrill of the chase and the feeling of falling. His biggest fault was always falling too fast and he swore to never make that mistake again. But the moment he met her, he knew he couldn't let her go. There was something about her that he admired and it was nothing that he'd ever seen before. He had to have her.

They were polar opposite's but yet, they were still each other's balance.
