"I've watched you for years. Watched you grow from a little girl to a full-grown faerie. We were best friends when we were little, and I've been with you almost every day for the last five years. Is it so unreasonable for me to have fallen in love with you?" (25.77)

Tamani got to watch Laurel come of age, even though she didn't know it at the time, since the faerie sentries had to stay hidden while keeping an eye on Laurel. It must've been neat to see her growing up and becoming her own person, but maintaining a distance must've been hard, too. Laurel seems to have matured into a kind and resourceful person overall, which is great—she'll need all the help she can get as this whole being-a-faerie business turns her life upside down.
