In April of 2022, Katy and David found themselves aboard the Brightline on a fateful train ride to a Bon Iver concert. Destiny, it seemed, had a knack for the ironic. A previous encounter in 2016 existed in photographic proof, of which neither had recollection. Katy embarked in Ft. Lauderdale, questioning the coercion by mutual friends into taking the train instead of driving, considering the journey took longer this way. David, a silent passenger, seemed lost in thought during the Miami-bound journey. Throughout the concert they still did not interact, until the journey back. Destiny, once more, had plans. Amidst blurring city lights, they conversed. Words flowed effortlessly—TV shows, music, and even McDonald's became conduits for their connection. As the train neared Katy's stop, an unasked question hung in the air. Time had seemed too short. But it was on David's drive home that fate winked again. A McDonald's stop turned into a message, an invitation to meet up again and continue their conversation. Three exclamation marks adorned Katy's response, an echo of her excitement. Two weeks later, Espresso martinis and Tequila old-fashioneds at Kapow marked the beginning of a friendship turned romance. Hours melted into shared stories. Their love unfurled—a novel composed of trains, music, legos, and meaningful conversations. From chance to choice, their journey began, leaving future chapters unwritten but eagerly anticipated.
