When a world pandemic canceled everything but love Toilet paper was a luxury, banana bread a competitive sport, and hugs? Basically illegal. The world had hit pause, and every plan - big or small - was suddenly canceled. Including the ones that would’ve kept Nadine and Jussi from ever meeting. Jussi was packing goggles for summer camp in the U.S. Nadine was searching for roommates in Australia. The chances of them crossing paths? Slim to none. Then - boom - everything shut down. Or… maybe everything was falling into place. With uni going remote and Australia on hold, Nadine moved back to Luxembourg and agreed to help at her sister’s workplace, where Jussi was already working and getting teased about the “single and ready to mingle” sister about to join the team. He brushed it off. Too young, he told himself. Definitely off-limits… right? Then they met. Masks on. Sparks flying.
For weeks, Jussi came home like a lovesick teen, raving to his roommate about “the girl” at daycare. He swore he’d ask her out - just as soon as he figured out how to speak in full sentences around her. Meanwhile, Nadine told her sister the daycare’s heartthrob couldn’t possibly be single. After weeks of quiet pining… Jussi, heart pounding, stopped her in the parking lot and asked her out. Bold. Slightly awkward. Totally adorable. And thank goodness he did because that little parking lot moment turned into everything. Two weeks later, they were soaking up the sun in Mijas ice cream in hand, falling in love. Now, five years later, they want to celebrate that love with the people who mean the world to them - in the place where it all began.
