How We Met

Logan had been attending the University of Missouri for a year, and was now entering his sophomore year. Dolo had finished high school, was accepted into the University of Missouri Evans Scholars program, and was beginning her freshman year. On August 27, 2016 the first weekend of school at Mizzou, the stars aligned, and Logan and Dolo’s paths crossed. Dolo and friends had plans to head over to the pool at Todd apartment complex to cool off after an Evans Scholars golf outing, the John Daly. Logan and friends had gotten to the pool around the same time to meet up with some of Logan’s senior fraternity brothers, who lived at the apartment complex. Logan was sitting at the far end of the pool, having some drinks with a few of his friends. Dolo was sitting towards the entrance of the pool area, sunbathing as she does, with a group of people around, chatting and having fun. Logan joked with a friend, telling him to “go see if you can get that girl’s number” while gesturing towards a brunette in the pool. The friend went up, couldn’t quite pull the magic words out of his hat, and returned, saying “Whatever.. You do it then. What about that girl over there?” gesturing towards Dolo. Logan had noticed Dolo earlier, and had found her simply gorgeous, and was keen to provide his friend with an example. Logan went up and started a conversation with Dolo. While he only intended it to be short and sweet, the conversation went on for some 45 minutes, as they found each other easy to share themselves with. By this time, Logan’s friend had moved on and all but forgotten the original mission; Logan had too. Dolo had plans for later in the day, and so told Logan that she had to be going. They said their goodbyes, exchanged a couple compliments, and went on their ways. It wasn’t until Dolo was closing the door on her way out of the complex that Logan realized his mortal error - “I didn’t get her number!” Logan ran after Dolo, arriving slightly out of breath, and asked “Hey, I forgot to ask... Can I get your snapchat?” Now here they are, some years later, still sharing themselves with each other just as easily as on their first day.

For all the days along the way
