" When Kai calls me beautiful, I know he's talking about more than my appearance. Because he dosen't just see y outside layer, the way the rest of the world does. He peels back all my layers. He knows me, truly and deeply. He loved the little girl I was, who still lives on inside me , at my core. He knows all of me- all my flaws and insecurities and vulnerabilities- and he thinks I am beautiful. "
