We were just 16, two teenagers with science classes scheduled right next to each other. Alessia first noticed Ryan in the hallway after class, just a passing moment, but something about him stuck with her. Curious and a little nervous, she found him on social media and sent a friend request, hoping he’d notice... He did! Ryan messaged first, and before long, he was asking Alessia out on a date. That first “yes” turned into so many more. From high school hallways to college in the same city, and now building careers side by side, we’ve kept choosing each other every time, without question. That ordinary moment in the hallway turned out to be the start of everything!
