In November of 2017, Roy and I met through a mutual friend (Thanks, Moe!) while hanging out at a local bar. The second time we were together, we had conversations the whole night and it hasn't been the same since. Over time, we became closer friends, confided in each other while feelings began to develop. The following year, Roy and I decided to take the next step and start to date. We became best friends, fell in love with one another, met family and traveled together. Roy occasionally tells me that from the moment he met me on that first night, he knew he wanted to get to know me better and that my southern Kentucky accent drew him closer. We both felt the chemistry that could last a lifetime and dreamt of a happily ever after with each other.
