We first crossed paths at Little River Country Club in Winthrop, Arkansas. We were each with our own group of friends, completely unaware that we were about to meet our soulmate. It wasn't until later in the evening, when mutual friends pulled us into the same circle, that we truly met. Cards were dealt, drinks were passed around, and what started as a casual night turned into hours of conversation. We stayed up until the sun crept over the horizon talking about everything and nothing, learning that the little things start to feel big when you are really listening. Before we parted ways, we exchanged numbers and a single kiss - the kind that lingers long after.
