We first met in high school. we were in the same class together. Nick was always very shy and not very talkative . I saw him during lunch period sitting at a table. I went straight up to him and started talking to him. I remember telling him if he wanted to sit with me. my friends Mary and Alec sit outside where the benches are closest to the entrance. every day since then we would all meet up their during our lunch period. Nick became really close friends with Alec and I had been friends with Mary since middle school. we have a lot memories from high school, some good some bad. We lost connection after a couple years and life got in the way. we started talking again April 2020. the relationship blossomed from there. we have been going strong since then and ready to settle down.
