How We Met

Falling for each other, in the most literal way possible.

It all started in high school when Callie was really good friends with Skyler’s cousin Ethan. One summer night after graduation, he suggested they take a trip to South Carolina to see his cousin DJ at a bar—getting in even though they were underage. So, they went, and Callie met Skyler, but was way too nervous to talk to him. A stolen glance here and there but never had the nerve to say more than hello. After dancing and having a blast with Ethan, he and Callie decided to stay the night at Skyler’s mom's house. That’s where things took a turn. Ethan went to his respecive bedroom, leaving Callie tipsy and disoriented. Wandering around trying to find a place to sleep she eventually ended up in a bedroom—definitely a guy’s room. Not knowing if the boy who's room this was had a girlfriend she decided to crash on the floor instead, as no woman would believe a man when they say "honey I SWEAR I don't know this woman cozy in my bed." Fast forward to later that night—Skyler comes home, ready to hop into bed after his DJ shift, and... trips right over me. A huge commotion ensues with both of us yelling, “Who the heck are you?” And just like a romantic comedy, is how the rest of our story began!
