It all began at Walgreens in Bayonne, where their paths first crossed in the most unexpected way. She was a floater pharmacist, moving between stores a few days a week, and he was a familiar face walking the aisles. Though their interactions were brief, there was an undeniable spark, even if it was only in passing. Things changed when she became the manager. Suddenly, they were working together more closely, and the friendship that had been quietly building began to flourish. Their days were filled with lighthearted jokes, casual banter, and moments where she’d look up and find him popping his head into the consultation window, just to get her attention. It was always clear that there was something more between them, but it was all in good fun. Then came the night when coworkers planned a night out. A group outing for drinks with coworkers was supposed to be a casual affair, but when the plans fell apart, it turned into something neither of them could have expected. They decided to still go out, just the two of them, and ended up at the tiki bar at Marina Cafe. What was supposed to be a simple dinner turned into the perfect first date. They spent hours talking, laughing, and discovering how much they truly had in common. From that night on, they were inseparable, their friendship blossoming into a relationship built on laughter and shared moments.
