It was right in front of us the entire time! We both graduated from Northwest High School, class of 2005 but only knew of each other we probably never spoke a word to each other our entire school career. We became coworkers first when we worked at a horrible call center together in the spring of 2008, then became fast friends before our paths diverged and we both moved separate directions in our lives a few years later. For the next decade it sort of followed that same path, saying our "hi hellos" and wishing each other well as we brushed into each other over the years. Then comes 2019 with both of us recently coming out of our own separate long term relationships and both seemingly lost with our lives and the direction we thought we were supposed to go we started talking. Talking for real, talking for the first time. We quickly found out it should have been us. It was us this entire time. What should have happened 10 years ago is happening in November, it's finally Tabitha and Tony. We may have not followed the fairy tail story that should have happened, but we're finally here. We took the long way home.
