It all began on a Monday night at a Cincinnati Reds game, high above the field in the Kentucky Bourbon Press Box. I was there with three friends, laughing and enjoying the evening. Steven arrived a bit late with his own group, but fate has a way of keeping perfect timing. Before long, his friends wandered over to chat with us—and then came Steven, with that easy smile that made the whole world slow down. We started talking, and the game faded into the background. Conversation flowed effortlessly, laughter came easily, and by the end of the night, we’d already jokingly made plans to go hiking together. That Saturday, we met again—and from that day on, we’ve been inseparable. What started as a chance meeting became the beginning of our forever.
