CHAPTER 27 That Means a Lot to Me

  LEAH'S POV

  "It's a rare and special thing," Ian said, his voice filled with emotion. "It's something I've been missing in my life for a while, and I'm glad to have found it again. With you."

  "I feel the same way," I said, feeling a lump in my throat. "It's like we're soulmates, in a way. Not in a romantic sense, but in a deep friendship sense. We just get each other."

  "I know what you mean," Ian said, sounding thoughtful. "It's like we were meant to meet and connect on a deeper level. I'm not sure how or why it happened, but I'm glad it did."

  "I think it has something to do with the fact that we're both sensitive souls," I said, feeling my heart swell with affection for my new friend. "We're both empathetic and understanding, and we're both deeply connected to our feelings. It makes for a powerful connection, don't you think?"
