Emily Giffin
Sure, we were friends who exchanged soulful glances, friends who slept in a bed filled with sexual tension, friends who found any excuse to touch, but I worried that we'd never take that perilous leap of faith toward becoming a real couple, a permanent team.
Emily Giffin

Emily Giffin
I'm very open in terms of sharing bits about my life, but I think it's very easy to get a distorted sense of who anyone is through social media.
Emily Giffin
We are one of those couples i used to watch, thinking to myself that I'd never be on the inside of something so special. I remember reassuring myself that it probably looked nicer than it actually was, I am happy to be wrong about that.
Emily Giffin
