Our story started on a chance. A chance for something new. It was on New Years Eve that we took that chance with each other. - Darian Darian didn’t want to spend New Years Eve alone. She updated her Snapchat asking if anyone wanted to drive with her. Guess who replied… You guessed it, Heath did. At the time, Darian nor Heath had a clue that they both had feelings for each other since high school. Heath arrived in Terre Haute around 10PM. Both of them nervous when he arrived , Darian and Heath hopped into her car and drove to Papa Johns. The next couple hours were filled with them catching up, as if six years hadn’t passed since the last time they’ve seen each other. Drawing closer to midnight, Darian, Heath, and Emily—Darian’s roommate—all made their way to Walmart in search of a birthday cake for a close friend of Darian’s. They walked around Walmart when they heard an employee make an announcement that it was New Year’s Day. Jokingly, Darian turned towards Emily and gave her a kiss on the cheek. Darian turned toward Heath, but he laughed, “No! I don’t want your petty kiss!” Shocked, Darian stuck her tongue out and said, “That’s fine! You don’t get one!” Wrapping up the errands, Heath knew he had to take his moment… but when? Darian got back into the car when she noticed that Heath looked as if he wanted to say something. “Is everything okay, Heath?” Grabbing her right hand with his fingers in between hers, “Darian, is it okay if I give you a New Years Eve kiss now?” Smiling, Darian nodded. Heath took Darian’s face into his hands, leaned in, and gave her a kiss. It wasn’t just any kiss. It was one of those kisses that people talk about in books and movies. A kiss that began the first night of an exciting and loving adventure. "This story may be cheesy or, you know, what everyone talks about. But that's just it.... it's our story. My favorite." -Heath
