Boyfriend and girlfriend Quote by Danielle Fishel
“When we were 16, after four years of kissing and playing boyfriend and girlfriend, we were like, "Hey, do we really like each other or do we just pretend we like each other five days a week?" So we went out to dinner one time. It wasn't like a real date or anything, we were just like, 'Maybe we should hang out outside of work and see if we really like each other.' We just ended up joking like we always did, like brother and sister, and realized at the end of our dinner date that we're more like family.”
