A Promise Made
He had made that promise when he was just a child, and now that the moment had arrived, his hands were shaking. Most wouldn’t expect such a vow to last through the years, especially one made in preschool. But Matt Grodsky wasn’t like most people. He was certain, even back then, of who he wanted to spend his life with.
People say love at first sight is a myth, but Matt believed it. From the moment he saw her, he knew. The others in class had laughed at him, brushing off his declaration as a childish joke. What they didn’t realize was that Matt meant every word, and he intended to keep that promise, no matter what.
When Love Begins Early
Love doesn’t always follow the rules. It can appear suddenly, sometimes in the most unexpected places. Matt Grodsky experienced this kind of magic when he was just three years old. At an age where most kids are still learning their ABCs, Matt found the person he believed was his soulmate—Laura Scheel.
Matt tried every little trick to get her attention. Whether it was sharing snacks or making silly faces, he was constantly trying to impress Laura. Though adults called them best friends, anyone who watched them play could see something deeper blossoming. Even at that young age, their bond was clearly something special.
