Forever Playmates

Ava and Mia were more than best friends—they were inseparable. From the moment they met in preschool, their favorite thing to do was play with toys together. Dolls, cars, building blocks—whatever they had, they shared. One Valentine’s Day, Ava saw everyone giving chocolates and cards to their crushes. She turned to Mia and said, “Do you think Valentine’s Day is only for couples?” Mia giggled, holding up their favorite teddy bear. “No way! It’s for the people we love the most!” That afternoon, they exchanged little toy gifts, promising to always be each other’s best friend. Because love isn’t just for couples—it’s for best friends too.
