    Shut it Jasmine. He seems like a smart and nice man. I used to despise Hayden but I adore her now. And it was more like 1 1/2 years then 2, but I can't be sure.

    I love how they always say "we'll remain very close friends" I'm so sure. It's not that easy to do, especially when you meet someone new. (I really didn't mean to rhyme there.)
