When Adam found out that the young lady was JoJo his best friend's younger sister he could not believe his eyes.

But one kiss let them know that it was impossible. Their heart had already been pierced by cupid's arrow and they had eyes only for each other.

Touché to Ms. Jenkins on this excellent bouquet of emotions. A magnificent romance that brought memories of my first real love. I rated this great piece of art 5***** stars.
