We met in high school, at a time when neither of us was looking for anything serious. What started as playful teasing—Erick picking on me and me doing my best to avoid him—was something neither of us thought much of at the time. Life took us in different directions for a while, but somehow, we always seemed to circle back to each other. Even when we didn’t fully realize it, there was something there waiting to grow. After my relationship ended, I reached out to Erick, and from that moment on, everything began to fall into place. What started as an unexpected connection turned into something deep, steady, and full of love. Looking back, it’s clear our story was always unfolding—we just needed time to find our way to each other. Now, we can’t wait to spend forever together.
