It all started at 31st on Essex, a small apartment located on the outskirts of the University of Minnesota campus. Alexis, always the busy bee, enjoyed romping around her third story studio apartment at all hours of the day. Unbeknownst to her, Parker—who lived directly below—spent most nights cursing the obnoxious footfalls that kept his dreams at bay. It only took a year before Alexis & Parker matched on a dating app & realized they were neighbors. The night began with long talks over pizza & red wine, followed by a late breakfast at Black Waffle, a small café perfect for last minute get-togethers & morning-after meals. Ironically, while sipping her hangover coffee, Alexis admitted that she wasn't looking for anything serious & Parker, cool as a cucumber, said he was in the same boat; they agreed to keep it casual & to be, first & foremost, friends... Like I said, ironic, right? & to think a chance encounter would lead to the culmination of a life Parker & Alexis never, even in their wildest dreams, could have ever imagined.
