As a senior in college my boyfriend got a freshman girlfriend. He really fell for her and begged me to let her share my apartment. He sat across from us and told us he wanted 'us', and that night we slept together. She moved in. After he and I graduated he accepted a job and we were to follow. Her parents put their foot down, so we eloped, they got married and her parents had to give in.

While we worked, she finished college. We are still living together, we are 'sisters' now, we have always had one house, we never felt the need to live in separate homes, I am her big 'sister'.
