Our paths first crossed at Maypearl High School back in 2016. We shared classes and connected through mutual friends. The bond between us was there, quietly forming over the years, though neither of us knew where it might lead. It wasn’t until 2023 that everything changed. After years of growing up, pursuing different paths, and building our individual lives, we both finally took a chance and had our first date. That moment sparked something undeniable—a connection that had been building all those years without either of us realizing it. From that date on, we both knew it was something special.
