Memory Lane
Joshua and Veronica met on Discord while playing an online card game, called "Yu-Gi-Oh Duel Links". Joshua lives in England, whilst Veronica lives in America. It began with an online friendship and playful banter. In 2019, after a year of friendship, they began to date. With time, they were able to save to be able to meet in person. In 2021, Veronica flew out of the country for the first time—and during Covid restrictions (what a time to travel). With nerves high, they met and fell into a familiarity with each other that they hadn't expected (but had hoped for). From there, they both got better jobs—growing and encouraging each other along the way, and were able to save more for future trips together. After 7 years of phone calls and FaceTimes, 17 flights, and exploring 3 countries together, they were tired of sorrowful goodbyes and decided they wanted to greet each other instead with forever hellos.
