We grew up together in Holmen and went to separate elementary schools but the same middle and high schools. We got together once in 6th grade for about 4 hours until Cassie texted me and broke up with me on the bus on her way home from school. I was devasted. Years go by and we don't talk too much as I am completely heart broken. Junior year of high school comes around and we have English together. I proceeded to try and get her to help me with homework, that I did not need help on. We started hanging out from there, and Cassie couldn't get enough of me. After a short (7 years) relationship, I proposed in February of 2023.
