Write me a love story that doesn't involve romantic love.
Romance is great, but sometimes we all need to appreciate two or more people caring about each other in a strictly platonic sense. Write something that highlights one of those kinds of relationships, whether it be a short story, a poem, or whatever. Don't forget to tag me!

Love at First Sight

We met online. His profile picture really showed off his beautiful eyes. I don’t usually like to make the first move, but with this guy, I just couldn’t resist. I picked up my phone and nervously dialed the number. Would he still be available? I figured a cute guy like this would already be taken.

A friendly voice answered the phone, and I asked if we could meet in person. He was available that very night for a visit, so I quickly agreed and grabbed my keys and purse. I didn’t even take time to put on lipstick.

When I got there, another woman was already with him. I felt a pang. Was I too late? Were they connecting? I peered through the window to try and assess the situation. She seemed friendly enough, but did she want a long term relationship like I did? As she got up to leave, I quickly turned away and pretended to look at a picture on the wall. I didn’t want her to know that I was interested in the same guy, but as soon she left the room, I went it and took her place across from the beautiful brown eyed boy.

As I sat down, the puppy came right over and put his wet nose on my knee. I picked him up and he snuggled down into my lap. His black fur was so soft, and his liquid brown eyes looked right into my soul. It was love at first sight, and I knew he would be mine.
