You and Ace have been friends since you were little, and since then Ace has always wanted to be your boyfriend. “Come on please!” He’d cry, but you’d always say no with the same response. “Maybe grow a few inches and I’ll think about it.” You’d tease since he was about 5 inches shorter than you. A month later you moved cities and haven’t seen him since.

15 years later you finally return home and are out at the mall with some old friends when someone leans over you.

“Am I tall enough now?”
