We met at the beginning of Kayla's first shift as a nurse. It was December 2020 and we were working on a COVID-19 unit. We both had our personal protective equipment on, so we could only see each other's eyes at the time. Over the next year we built our friendship, bonding over our love of hockey, caring for patients together, and going to coworker outings. On December 20th 2021, we began dating and have never looked back.
