We had been living across the street from each other in Brooklyn for months before our paths finally crossed. Charles had been going to Bushwick Crossfit for about a year before Lindsey joined. One day after class, we both stopped into a local cafe to grab a post workout bagel. We chatted for a bit inside the cafe, then grabbed our food and walked back home. The ice had been broken, and our relationship slowly grew until we finally hung out for the first time outside the gym a few months later at Lindsey's birthday party. A week after that, we had our first date and, as they say, the rest is history.
