It was the summer of 2016 when Gisselle started her first job as a “gift shop girl” at the same place where Joseph was “a shed boy” working outside in the kayaks and paddle boards. She worked alongside his sister, Stephanie, and when Joseph stopped by one day and cracked a joke, Gisselle surprised herself by laughing- not just at the joke, but at how instantly drawn she was to him. Turning to Stephanie, she boldly declared “I’m going to date your brother one day”, earning only a laugh in return. The rest of the summer was filled with flirtation, lingering glances, and playful banter, leading to one long-overdue kiss. Afterward, they both played it cool, pretending it was no big deal, but it was a big deal. They never really pursued it, and life moved on, with Instagram likes and an occasional DM, but nothing more. Four years later, a sudden message from Joseph reignited everything. Gisselle thought they were just meeting for dinner. But instead, he took her to a bar, bought her tequila shots (on an empty stomach) and it was like no time had passed at all. After that, Joseph would stay at her college apartment for weeks at a time, the two of them enjoying lazy days and cocktails at Bahamas Breeze. From then on, they never separated— slowly realizing that their love story wasn’t just a fleeting summer romance — it had been waiting to pick up right where it left off.
