We are both from Felton, Delaware and went to school together. However, we did not become close until high school. We both ran cross country and were in the same homeroom which gave us plenty of time to goof off together. As high school went on we became closer and closer emailing each other during school and outside of school. Our conversations ranged from what’s for lunch to deep inside jokes. We never dated though because we did not want to ruin our friendship. After graduation we did not see each other again until his sisters graduation. At her graduation we thought that would probably be the last time we would see each other but it was not... Few years later in 2020 in the middle of a pandemic we began emailing again. Checking in and seeing how the others life was going. We quickly FINALLY exchanged numbers and would text each other all day long. Both scared it was to good to be true we kept our relationship a secret for a few months. Hanging out whenever possible and seeing how our puzzle pieces in life fit together (they fit together pretty darn well).
