For the first two years at Oregon State University, Henry and Jessy existed primarily as friendly faces in the same social orbit, sharing nodding acknowledgments in the crowded halls of the Memorial Union and the occasional weekend celebrations of their shared circles. They were classic acquaintances, bonded by the familiar rhythm of campus life—passing each other on the quad between classes or bumping into one another at local coffee shops near Monroe Avenue. It wasn't until a cold night during their junior year, while both were attendees of their dear friend Vivian Yu's birthday event, that the dynamic shifted. Seizing the moment, Henry finally gathered the courage to move past their surface-level pleasantries, shifting the conversation to something more meaningful. He nervously asked if she would join him for dinner that weekend, a pivotal invitation that transformed their long-standing acquaintance into the beginning of a genuine, intentional 'something more'. Little did they know that very moment would turn out to be the beginning of forever.
