Story
Yuri's Version: A group beach trip to Emerald Isle, NC. While I had seen Emily around, we had never had any interaction. So, you can understand why I thought it was odd that she asked to ride down there with me. I mean, I was headed down there anyway, so I was inclined to take her. Also she was far too pretty to be interested in me. I didn't think anything of it until she began persistently flirting with me. I mean it was a bit much really. I told her I wasn't just some other floozy and that I my heart was soft. She was willing to give me a shot and the rest is history.
Em's Version: The first thing you should know about Yuri is that at most, only 80% of Yuri's stories will ever be true. We did meet on a group beach trip, but I had no intention of flirting. Regardless of this, I am forever grateful that we did end up flirting, because now I get to spend the rest of my life with my best friend.
