It all started on the block, December 28th, 2007—during what felt like The Coldest Winter Ever. Lena offered Torron a piece of Juicy Fruit bubble gum… and he turned it down. She thought he wasn’t interested—but Lena wasn’t the type to give up that easily. Before she could think of a clever comeback, three boys walked up… and one swung on Torron. Without missing a beat, he took off his hoodie—and Lena held it for him while he handled business. Once things settled down, Torron’s cousin gave Lena and her best friend a ride home. Just five minutes after she walked through her front door, her phone rang. It was Torron—checking to see if she was okay. She laughed, “Are you okay? You were the one fighting!” He said he was fine, he just had to go handle a few things—but promised to call her once he got back home. Around 9pm, he called back—and they stayed on the phone until 3 in the morning. That same night, they made it official. 💍 The next day, they spent the whole day together in the freezing cold—even though Lena caught frostbite on her fingers. (Totally worth it. ❄️❤️) A few days later, at midnight on New Year’s Day 2008, after they said "Happy New Year", Torron told Lena he loved her. He gently added that she didn’t have to say it back unless she truly meant it. She felt the same but said nothing. And the rest… is history.
