Lindsay I adore this piece. Relatable and simple in the most beautiful way. Just love how you wove reading into a love story. It's like two love stories in one.

Oof, that last paragraph was chefs kiss 🤌🏻 This is beautifully written. Mine and my husband’s love story also began in a college common room over games of pool 🥹 I let him ‘teach’ me so I could get close and sniff him 😂
