This relationship started with... a rejection. What does it take for a friendship to withstand a "no," hold steady, and eventually become something deeper? In part 1 of our interview with Chloe and Kiara, we learn about the high-stakes, tender and messy shift from platonic to romantic love. Their story is a study in vulnerability: testing boundaries, saying the hard thing that needs to be said, and learning what it means to trust someone with the parts of yourself you usually keep hidden.
>> Stay tuned for part 2, where Chloe and Kiara tell us their take on soulmates and explain how living long distance impacts their bond (we are obsessed with their answer!).
