We had no idea we were meeting one another until about 30 minutes to an hour beforehand. Little did we know, our dear friends Lydia (Kara's Friend) and Chandler (Blake's Friend) had decided to set us up together without letting either one of us know. It was New Year's Eve 2019, and our friends were all gathered together at Chandlers house waiting for Lydia and Kara to arrive to begin the New Year's Eve festivities. Once Kara and Lydia finally arrived at the house, and Kara turned the corner, it was then that Blake and Kara saw each other for the first time. The evening was not what either one of them expected, being as Kara hardly said a word the entire time out of complete shyness. Despite Kara's awkwardness, Blake continued to attempt to stir up conversation in hopes of finding a true connection. By the end of the night, both Kara and Blake had thoughts of being charmed by one another. However, neither one of them was willing to admit their true feelings. It would not be until two interactions later that the two would exchange numbers and begin the start of what would become the adventure of a lifetime.
