“We both went on and had kids with other people and other relationships, but you know, in my mind I was like, ‘Oh, that was the one,’ and that’s how we got back together.

“I couldn’t believe it and I don’t think he could either. It’s not something we ever planned for. We had really moved on with our lives, but when we reconnected, it was almost instantaneous and we knew.”
