Avery and I met in high school through mutual friends. We quickly hit it off and would hang out as friends. Avery headed to college soon after and we lost touch for a while. Fast forward to 2018, I was heading to visit my sister in Cincinnati for the weekend. Recently seeing that Avery lived there, I decided to send him a text (after not talking for about 6 years!). We said our hellos and almost immediately I asked him if he wanted to go grab a drink and catch up, and he quickly agreed. When we met up, it was like we hadn't missed a beat. That drink turned into an entire weekend of us spending time together in the city we now call home. We quickly became inseparable, and the rest is history!
