“You and me”

Hi Strands fans. Nothing too taxing about today's puzzle. The theme of "You and me" appears to be describing couples and other close relationships and that's exactly what I found right away, when I spotted PARTNER spelt backwards up the left-hand wall.
Turning to the opposite side, I found FRIEND in the bottom corner, and BESTIE immediately above it. COMPANION was snaking around the top left corner, and I then spotted SIDEKICK spelt from the bottom upwards next to FRIEND.
Only the spangram was left, which is just as well as I doubt I'd have known where to go after the 'R' if there were any other answers left to muddle things. As it was, I followed the gaps to spell TOGETHERNESS and complete the puzzle.
