IAN'S POV
We spent the rest of the evening talking and laughing, just enjoying each other's company. As I drove home later that night, I couldn't help but feel grateful for the friendship I had with Leah.
I knew that no matter what life threw our way, we would always have each other to lean on.
And that knowledge gave me a sense of strength and comfort.
Sometimes, the best things in life are the people we love and the bonds we share.
And sometimes, those bonds can lead to unexpected and wonderful things.
As I pulled into my driveway, I noticed a light was on in the living room.
I frowned, wondering who could be there.
I had a nagging suspicion, but I tried to brush it off.
It couldn't be possible, I told myself.
I opened the front door and stepped inside.
As I reached the living room, my heart skipped a beat.
Sitting on the couch was someone I never expected to see.
