“How did you know these were my favourite?” her beautiful green eyes glimmered with happiness. Her whole expression full of Glee. She brought the bouquet up to her nose, and in silence, smelled the flowers before her.
‘I believe you've mentioned it a couple of times, but it was mostly luck.’ Twice. She mentioned she liked miss piggys twice. Once the first time we met. That day at the park.
The day I stumbled over her picnic cloth and my face got full of that delicious lemon pie she had brought. The one that was supposed to be for him, But he never came to eat it.

“But you? Oh, god I've loved you so much I forgot what hating myself felt like”
And they lived happily ever after, the end.
