It all started when we worked together, but our paths didn’t really cross until months later. We had mutual coworkers, but we never spoke—until Jeremy decided to make the first move and start to say hello and throw paper office balls (LOL). I remember when we finally spoke; I was struck by how tall he was, almost towering over everyone else. Meanwhile, Jeremy was quick to notice how short I was—and how much I could make him laugh. He thought I was so hilarious, and I guess I did too. At first, I wasn’t sure what to expect. But as we began to spend more time together outside of work, something clicked. Our conversations became deeper, more meaningful. It was like we had known each other forever, and yet every new thing we learned about each other felt like a revelation. Jeremy’s caring nature and genuine kindness made me feel seen in a way I hadn’t before. It felt surreal—like we had a connection that was unlike any other I had experienced. It wasn’t unusual to find us throwing paper balls across the room at each other, laughing uncontrollably. Those little moments became a way for us to bond, and I realized how much fun it was to just be around him. Our bond grew from there, and I’m so glad we took the time to get to know one another. Now, looking back, it feels like fate brought us together, but I’ll always remember the moment Jeremy chose to say hello and throw a paper ball at me, who would have known it was the beginning of something incredible!
