We met at a unique time in both of our lives, fresh out of COVID. Eyrica was visiting home from Nashville, and Anthony was working 2 jobs at the time. Eyrica was on a gap year before finishing her degree and working in the meantime. Anthony was a single father trying his best. It was a slow burn, but meeting each other at Chili's and talking, and going into a long-distance relationship, we fostered a mutual support system and got along swimmingly. Eyrica has encouraged Anthony to nurture his spiritualism and invest in himself. Anthony gives Eyrica room for safety without judgment and a partner to share anything and everything. Thanks for reading
