September 18, 2019 Rachel hears an illusive “Ross” is moving to Colorado. “Interesting,” she thought. “Odds are he’s cute? Actually, odds a real-life Rachel ends up with a real-life Ross?” October 26, 2019 Rachel and Ross meet for the first time at a 60’s roller-skate party. Ross is in bell-bottoms, a button-up shirt, and a blonde wig. Rachel, channeling her inner Penny Lane, is immediately taken aback by the volume of this man’s voice (he has a voice modulation problem, OKAY!?!?), and fully overlooks his god-like skating abilities. March 7, 2020 On a ski trip in Jackson Hole, Rachel and her best friend, Callie, kidnap Ross (mostly so they could use his rental car) for a day out in town. On their way to brunch, Ross blurts out, “Let’s do something crazy today! Let’s steal a cow!” A Ross-ism still widely quoted today. The day escalates quickly (details have been sworn to secrecy) but ends with their first kiss. March 15, 2020 The world shuts down. Ross and Rachel (and Callie) stay in touch over text. ~We were on a break~ April 29, 2020 They finally see each other again post-shutdown… the spark still there. May 30, 2020

Nearly two years later, after countless flights, FaceTimes, and “so when are you moving back?” conversations, Rachel finally returns to Colorado.
