So this is loveSo this is love

Candice and Julio’s story began quietly, with late-night conversations that felt effortless and endless. They talked about everything— their favorite video games, movies, and life’s little curiosities—building a connection neither of them could have imagined. Those simple, unassuming moments turned out to be the start of something extraordinary. Their friendship deepened over a year of shared adventures—spontaneous outings, trips to Stony Brook, and countless moments of laughter (like the time Candice’s sandwich fell apart mid-bite, leaving Julio grinning for days). Slowly, quietly, something deeper began to grow between them, though neither spoke of it. Then one day, Julio found the courage to express what had been in his heart all along. His words were warm, honest, and changed everything. What began as casual, late-night talks had grown into something undeniable. From that moment on, their lives were forever intertwined.
