We met ten years ago, in 2016 at a bar in Downtown LA. From the very first moment, there was an instant connection, the kind where the rest of the world fades away and suddenly it feels like only the two of you exist. What began that night quickly turned into a love neither of us could see coming. But life had other plans. In 2017, Victor was presented with a career opportunity abroad, one that would take him thousands of miles away. We tried to make the distance work, holding onto a love that felt far too special to walk away from, but we knew the best thing to do was part on good terms. Even then, our story never truly ended. Through the years, Victor always found his way back to Maira, birthday flowers sent from across the world, late-night New Year’s calls, and every chance possible to reconnect while visiting Los Angeles. No matter how much time passed, there was always a gravity pulling us towards one another. Victor was meant to return home in 2020, but when the world paused during Covid, life shifted once again. Believing maybe fate had other plans, Maira made the difficult decision to let go, convinced this simply was not meant to be. Victor's last words during that call live vividly in Maira's head, "I don't know when, and I don't know how, but you and I will end up together." See the thing is, some love stories are written long before we ever realize it. Victor moved back to Los Angeles, and in 2023 after many years apart, we found our way back to each other. And from that moment on, we have been in awe and more sure than ever that this was always meant to be. Our love endured time, distance, missed moments, and second chances, only to prove that what is truly meant for you, will always find you. And through every twist and turn, fate was always leading us back to each other. So here’s to our favorite love story, and to the beginning of our forever. ✨
