Caroline and Abe first met in the Fall of 2018 and they were both completely oblivious of where their friendship would go. Per chance, they had joined the same church group, worked in the same hospital network, and lived only minutes away from each other - but it would take another three years before anything would come of their time together. After some time had passed without hearing from each other, they met again at a church function where Caroline introduced Abe to a friend who she thought he had quickly taken an interest in. Soon, Abe started to invite the two of them to everything he did, and this eventually transpired into a running club of sorts centered around Rice University. But as all love stories go, their friend conveniently became too busy to join them on their runs, and the two of them went from running with, to running towards each other. *Of note, this succinct version of the story leaves out the endless hours, months really, that Abe spent climbing out of the treacherous valley colloquially known as the "friend-zone". But now, the two of them have a love founded on the deepest friendship they've ever known, and couldn't imagine life as they know it to be any other way.
