How We Met Like many modern love stories, ours began with a few taps on a dating app. It only took (almost) three messages from Alex before Orlena agreed to meet up—fashionably late by 30 minutes, of course! But the moment she stepped out of the car, something just clicked. There was an immediate spark—one of those rare, undeniable feelings you can’t quite explain but can’t ignore either. We shared pizza, talked for hours, and ended the night with an impromptu Gossip Girl marathon (yes, Alex was a good sport about it). From that night on, we knew there was something special between us—something worth holding onto.
