the piggybacking killed me nineteen different ways:)
Plus, to me, huge difference between resuming a teen romance and one which happened when you were 10 - exactly so, this is why I hate most childhood stories because the kids "fall in love" when they're around 10 and honestly, I don't even REMEMBER when I was ten! everything before age 14 or so is pretty much a blur except for a few random scattered images - so for me to believe that they go around the rest of their life shaped and driven by their memory of some cute kid they liked when they were 10 is just laughable to me - particularly since as adults even if it is a treasured memory they would/should still possess the maturity to move on. ha.
but yes - I can totally buy high school romance because they're old enough to really fall in love and it's such a hormonal time that it always deeply effects your life
