We met while working at Black Bear Diner on California Avenue—Matthew was a dishwasher, and Jordyn was a server. In any quiet moment, we found excuses to steal a glance at one another or exchange small questions like, “What’s the soup of the day?” or “Where would this item be stocked?” Eventually, we went our separate ways for a while, only to reconnect one Halloween night. The connection was just as natural as before, and that’s where our story truly began.
