Stories we love to share, because by sharing them, we get something out of the hour or two we wasted on the wrong person. But that's all bad first dates are: short stories. Good first dates are more than short stories. They are first chapters. On a good first date, everything is springtime. And when a good first date becomes a relationship, the springtime lingers.

Go not to the temple to ask for forgiveness for your sins, first forgive from your heart those who have sinned against you.

Cole kissed me.. It was the sort of kiss that would take a long time to recover from.
