It all began in New Orleans during the famous Red Dress Run on August 8, 2024. Kevin was there with friends for the run, and Ramone had come to celebrate a bachelorette party. By pure coincidence, our Airbnbs ended up right next to each other. After a long day, Ramone and his friends were hanging out by their pool when they heard music drifting over from ours. Curious, Ramone lifted his friend over his shoulder to peek over the fence and ask if they could join. At first, Kevin said “no”, but his group insisted, and soon the fences between us disappeared. Laughter, conversation, and connection flowed easily. That night, Ramone asked Kevin for his number, and the two of us headed out together to an event called Deviant, where we danced the entire night away. From that moment, we were inseparable. What started as chance and spontaneity turned into something undeniable, proof that love has a way of showing up exactly when and where it’s meant to.
