We met in college at Southern Adventist University when our friends started hanging out and going to Brayden’s bible study. About a month into all of us hanging out every second we got, we decided to take a day trip to a popular thrift store. Little did I (Andrea) know, Brayden had told his guy friends that they could not come so that it would just be the two of us. We spent the whole day together thrift shopping, exploring downtown, and eating at our favorite spots. The romance started about a week before our college was shut down due to Covid. After that, the panicked lockdowns bonded us as we ran to buy toilet paper and canned food together #apocalypsebuddies.
