We stumbled upon each other in a way that feels almost serendipitous, as if fate had a hand in it. It was at a car meet—a spontaneous adventure for Ryleigh, who hadn’t even intended to go that night. Little did she know, this would be the evening that changed everything. Fast forward a few weeks, after two unsuccessful attempts to coax Cole into a date, he finally agreed to give it a shot! The evening unfolded in a whirlwind that neither of us anticipated. We found ourselves on a friend's balcony, unraveling our lives in earnest—sharing secrets that, on any other night, we would have kept buried deep. There was a delicious tension in the air, each revelation pulling us closer as we worried whether we'd scare each other away. As the night wore on, we ventured into the heart of Cincinnati, the moonlight dancing on the water next to us as we shared laughter and dreams. The hours slipped away, and when the clock struck 6 AM, we were curled up in the backseat of Cole's car, wrapped in each other's warmth like playful puppies. From that moment, we haven’t been apart. Our story began unexpectedly, but it blossomed into something beautifully inevitable.
