All your stories were so thoughtful and beautiful and the last one just crushed my heart in pieces!💔💔💔 Really hard to highlight fave stories of yours because they all will stay in my heart forever but if I had to "Not Yet" and "Like Clockwork" were especially savoring💛💛💛💛💛💛 Already want to reread them💛💛💛💛💛
