One September night in 2022, I pulled up to the salsa club looking fresh. I told my brother, "watch this," as I approached Carrie. Ol' girl caught a glimpse and wanted to dance. I spun her around a few times and when she saw my smile, she was whisked away. The rest is history.

One fall night after some liquid courage, Ali told his brother, "watch this," then gave me his best one-liner at a salsa club. I threw some cold water on his game, but he still bought me a beer and told me not to make it weird when we dance again. Fast forward a few dance events later, and we were inseparable.
