Our story begins long before we ever thought there would be a story of us to write. We knew each other in high school by running in the same circle of friends. We kept up with each other as time went on, witnessing the changes in our romantic and social lives. However, once we were both at FAU we just kept running into each other. Whether it be fate or Alessio's uncanny ability to time everything just right, the world may never know. Our friendship grew and before we knew it, something changed. It was slow at first, then all at once. That's how this chapter of our story began. One day we were walking, space between us. The next, our hands brushed and we couldn't imagine a world without having each other by our sides. It's a simple start but, we've always enjoyed the friends to lovers trope and speedy getaway cars.
