We met in 2019 while working the night shift at Hall Services. One evening, Larisa stopped by during a tour with our mutual friend Amber. Ever the excellent wingwoman, Amber sent a quick message ahead to let Nicole know that someone special was on her way over. When Larisa arrived, she introduced herself, and Nicole responded with what can only be described as a slightly awkward handshake. Somehow, that brief and imperfect first impression was all it took—Larisa was intrigued, Nicole was charmed, and the rest, as they say, is history.
