The last time I’d felt this strongly for a girl, I ended up regretting every single second of it, and despite the warnings ringing in the back of my head, I still felt more than willing to give it another shot. After the way I’d opened up with April and she’d practically turned into a therapist, I was hopeful that things would be different this time if I just did some things the right way.
