Although we spent much of our lives living a half mile away from each other and passing one another in the halls of Westside High School, it wasn't until we both lived in LA that our paths (digitally) crossed. We matched on a dating app and bonded over our love of Game of Thrones–thanks to one of Billy's profile pictures where he was sitting on the Iron Throne. It wasn't long before Billy asked if we could take our conversation off the dating app and into the real world. We spent our first date talking for hours, after which Laura asked Billy, "So, was this a date? Or was this a friendly Omaha 'welcome to the big city' sort of thing?" Thankfully, he admitted he hoped it was a date. And the rest is history!
