The story of Courtney and Scott is one of fate and the “invisible string”. The happenings span many years and chance encounters. The year was 1995, and two soulmates were about to meet for the first time. You see, though they were from the same neighborhood and even attended the same school, Courtney and Scott were separated by two years and grade levels. Neither had any idea that the other existed. This is the first time that luck and chance would cross their paths together. On a rare occasion, Scott’s mother was unable to take him to school one morning, and a ride was arranged with his next-door neighbor. Fate would have it that the neighbor was being picked up by a classmate. As the two boys climbed into the back seat of Courtney’s vehicle, a 9-year-old Scott was both oblivious to the beautiful little girl already sitting there, and likely the fact that girls even existed, at all. 7-year-old Courtney, however…well, let us just say, she NOTICED. At this very moment, the young beauty developed the crush that would some day be responsible for a match made in heaven. Right then, the invisible tether was tied. The universe had spoken. It may not be now, it may not be easy, but these two were meant to be together… - written by Scott Orlansky
