In 2021, Silas started working at Tri-State Memorial Hospital as a Nutrition Aide. Brian was also working at Tri-State Memorial Hospital as a CNA primarily in the ICU. They had very brief, but polite interactions in passing. After crossing paths in 2023 at a concert in Spokane, WA, Brian and Silas started to interact more often. Soon after, it became very clear they were meant for each other.
