While we knew each other as kids from participating in community theatre, we reconnected through mutual friends who invited both of us to a Friendsgiving. The night was spent catching up on the years that passed, what we hoped to accomplish in the future, and our shared interests in things like rock music, Star Wars, and video games. Despite the long distance between them, Skyler insisted on exchanging numbers to get to know each other better and we were soon planning the next time we could see each other.
