I don't know if you knew, but Michael and Chihara both graduated from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo and University of the Pacific. They both pursued a Biochemistry major at Cal Poly and a doctorate degree in Pharmacy at UOP. However, their paths never crossed (that they know of) at either university. Chihara graduated from Cal Poly in 2011 while Michael started there in 2012. Further, Michael started pharmacy school in 2014 while Chihara was already out on clinical rotations for her final year. Summer of 2017 came and Michael started his year-long residency at Doctors Medical Center in Modesto, where Chihara has been working as a clinical coordinator. There, they were given a chance to get to know each other, professionally and personally. They bonded over their interests, favorite places in SLO, best beach in SLO, and which BBQ is better (Mo's vs. Firestone). A friendship formed over the course of the year Michael was a resident. Then...well, you know where that friendship led them.
