4 years ago, in 2020 Tyler and Talia had the pleasure of attending a gathering at their friends house. It just so happened that this friend has been in each of their lives for over 9 years. Hence, both of them hearing about each other a few times. Well little did they know at this gathering they would spend several hours in the same room without even knowing the other was there. Fast forward nearly a year, the last day before Tyler shipped off for boot camp there was a going away party for Tyler and their friend Jaylen. Being a last hurrah before bald heads and screaming there was some fun, drinks, and conversation involved. Tyler had flirted with Talia for well over an hour, but she did not give him the time of day. To this day, she still does not remember anything about him being there let alone talking to her. The next day he left for boot camp with no contact or a thought in his mind to reach out. Unfortunately, Tyler was injured in bootcamp which delayed his completion of training. In medical, Jaylen brought up that Tyler should reach out to Talia. Tyler had remembered Talia being funny and down to earth. He then continued to think about reaching out to her but never did. Some time passed and he finally graduated, came home, and moved in with friends. Talia happened to go see Jaylen at his new house which happened to also be Tylers house. Yet once again, not coming in contact with Tyler. Talia then went over to the house again; this time, Tyler being there. Talia still, did not give Tyler much of the time of day. Until finally she was able to talk to him a little bit while they were teammates for a game. Once they started talking, they never stopped. She ended up staying with Tyler ever since that day. Two days later, they were talking about memories, a lot of them being similar. So, they looked for videos in their phones to see if they may have crossed paths. It turns out, Talia has a video from the very first night in 2020 with Tyler's voice in the background. They both have same memory of walking to the gas station, playing games in the living room, and taking a pre-bootcamp shot. Yet somehow, they never ended up together until November 12, 2022.
