Our paths first crossed at the environmental lab where Elizabeth works. Neal came in one day to drop off samples for work, and what could have been just another ordinary task ended up being the start of something special. At first, it was just casual conversations and friendly exchanges whenever our paths crossed. Over time, those small moments grew into a genuine friendship—the kind where we could laugh easily, share stories, and look forward to seeing each other. Eventually, that friendship blossomed into something deeper, and we realized we didn’t just enjoy spending time together—we didn’t want to imagine life without each other. What started with a simple work errand has grown into our favorite love story.
