We met at a bar in Boston called Ned Devine’s on November 6th, 2021, a night neither of us was even supposed to be there. Raquel had only planned to stop by quickly with her friends, all dressed as Waldo for a fundraiser. Nick was out with his friends by the live music, enjoying what was meant to be just an ordinary Saturday night. Nick kept noticing the unusually high number of Waldos wandering around the bar… but it didn’t take long for his eyes to land on the one Waldo who truly stood out. Raquel noticed him too. For a while, it was just lingering glances, quick smiles, and that quiet feeling that something was about to happen. After what felt like hours of looking at each other from across the room, Nick finally worked up the courage to walk over. One conversation turned into many, the music faded into the background, and the rest of the night felt effortless, like we had known each other much longer. From that night on, we spoke every single day. What started as two people unexpectedly ending up at the same bar became the first chapter of the journey that led us to this moment.
