It all began on a Sunday at Sanjusan. Alina showed up slightly hungover from a bachelorette party the night before, with a new job starting the very next day. Hector, ever the optimist, had requested a celebratory shot before the date started… which awkwardly (and hilariously) arrived mid-conversation while Alina was sipping water and trying to survive. 😅 Despite the timing, or maybe because of it, something just clicked. The conversation flowed, the laughs came easy, and there was this quiet sense that something really special was happening. Over the next week, we hung out two or three more times—and after that, we were pretty much inseparable. What started as a casual Sunday date turned into the start of forever. ❤️
