And having found him was the greatest joy in life for her. “You bring out the best in me, and then some. Thank you for standing up for me and inspiring me in everything you do and teaching me so much. You feel made for me, and I feel made for you, and I know that’s gross and corny but I don’t care because that’s how you make me feel. You are the greatest partner,” Ella praised him a little more.
