I Flew Home Early to Surprise My Best Friend After a Year Abroad I Wasn't Ready for How She Greeted

Because Maren wasn t crying like someone who had missed her best friend. She was crying like someone who had almost lost him.

Sometimes the people we think will always be there are the people we forget to tell how much they mean to us. My name is Callum Reeves, and Maren had been my best friend since we were sixteen. We met after I accidentally backed my first car into her father s mailbox.
