We first met in college at San José State University, living just across the hall from each other in the dorms. We would cross paths often—but our very first connection came in a funny way. One day, I noticed some of my candy had mysteriously gone missing, only to find out later that he was the one who ate it! From that lighthearted beginning, we started talking more, laughing together, and quickly realized there was something special between us. What started as neighbors in the dorms turned into a bond that has only grown stronger ever since.
