When I was around 19 I was still living at home. We had some new neighbours move in next door during the summer and I ended up getting to know them very well indeed. Their names were Natasha and Kevin and they would invite me over all the time to have dinner with them or to watch a movie with them. It wasn’t until after I had been friends with them for a few weeks that they told me the true reason they had wanted to get to know me.
“Jessica we have a little confession to make and we really hope it doesn’t freak you out,” said Natasha as I sat between them on their couch one afternoon.
“Oh?” I said as I looked at Natasha. Kevin shifted in his seat a little as if he was nervous about whatever Natasha was about to say next.
“Well I think you know how much we both like you Jessica, and it feels like you are very fond of us too,” she said.
“Oh I do. I love you guys,” I interrupted which made Natasha smile.
