„The school year ended and our summer together began. We went swimming, skinny-dipping at night, played tennis and went to the beach, lay in the grass and watched the clouds, took so many pictures. […] There were sleep-overs complete with giggling until 4:00 a.m. and pancakes in the morning, ding-dong ditching people at night under a dark sky full of stars. One day while riding horses me and Johanna agreed that God messed up – we were best friends accidentally placed in separate countries. The days with Johanna were some of the best in my life.“
