Alex and I met in high school when I was a sophomore and he was a freshman. (He's very proud to say he's with an older woman.) Neither of us can pinpoint when or how we met, but it was through mutual friendships that we formed an acquaintance, then a casual friendship, and eventually a bond that would reveal to me my soulmate and best friend. I always held Alex in such high esteem even just as pals. So as the years went on and we got to know each other more deeply, it was very easy to fall in love and realize... "This is the person that I would walk to the ends of the earth for."
