It all started on Liya’s birthday, a night filled with friends, music, and celebration. Jason, invited through mutual friends, showed up expecting a fun night but left with an unexpected connection. They talked effortlessly, joking and laughing as if they had known each other forever. But at the end of the night, they went their separate ways, not thinking much of it. A month later, they ran into each other again at Philly’s Erin Express. Amid the packed bars, green beer, and St. Patrick’s Day chaos, they found themselves deep in conversation once more. By now, it was starting to feel like more than coincidence Months went by, and Jason found himself reaching out when he planned a trip to Philly with his friends. He invited Liya and went to Penn’s Landing, where they spent the evening talking by the water, and enjoying Thai iced teas. By the time the night ended their bond felt solid as if they had been friends forever. A month later, Jason had invited Liya to a Eagles vs. Giants tailgate. Liya an Eagles fan was ready to give Jason a hard time for being from New York—until she found out he was also a die-hard Cardi B fan. Liya couldn’t help but laugh at the revelation, realizing Jason was full of surprises and they spent the day laughing, debating football, and somehow without either of them saying it out loud they realized that this connection was different. They both continued to make the effort to invite each other to group outings, sometimes traveling hours just to hang out for a short time. The most unexpected moment came when Jason drove straight from class in New York to Philly to surprise her at a sub-par Chinese buffet. When she saw him there, she was confused and asked “Why would you come all this way for this?”, Jason replied “To see you.” What began as a friendship full of chance encounters had transformed into something real and undeniable. With every drive, every group outing, and every heartfelt moment, Jason and Liya knew they felt the same love towards each other and Jason finally asked Liya out and as they say, the rest was history! Sometimes when you’re least expecting it, God places the right person in your life at the right time. ❤️ #BABEADOOS
