It all started on May 4, 2018, at a small college party neither of us was really planning to attend. We were both convinced by mutual friends to come out that night — the kind of casual “just show your face” deal that somehow turned into something much more. The get together was small and intimate. And from the moment we started talking, it felt like the rest of the room faded a bit. We laughed about our crazy friends, swapped stories about school and life, and ended up spending the rest of the evening talking and bar hopping. Neither of us expected anything big that night, but that simple introduction turned into the beginning of something unforgettable. What started as a random Friday night meetup quickly became the start of “us.”
