Noel and Tenley first met at the gym in the summer of 2022. After a few times of seeing each other regularly, they both looked forward to going to the gym at the same time each day in hopes that the other would be there. One day, Tenley made the courageous move, one that she had never done before, to go up to this random guy and ask if he was single. The short answer, was that he was not interested. But she did not give up hope. Tenley continued to pursue him by waving and saying "hey" whenever she saw him and Noel continued to ask if she was using the gym equipment near her, even though there were many others that were available. Noel finally came to senses a few weeks later and soon enough, the two fell in love.
