It was a warm September evening in 2015, and destiny brought us together at Aunt Marci's (Aaron’s aunt and Yvonne former colleague) birthday dinner. NYC sometimes is a small world like that. From the moment our paths crossed, there was a spark—a quiet understanding that something special was unfolding. Though circumstances in our lives kept us apart, Aaron made sure Yvonne got home safely that night, a small act of care that hinted at what could have been. Two years later, we both found ourselves at another birthday celebration. The timing wasn’t quite right, and our interaction was brief, but something lingered—an unspoken connection waiting for its moment. Finally, on September 15th, a year later, the stars aligned. This time, we truly saw each other. It felt effortless, as though the time and distance melted away, and we were picking up a conversation that had never really stopped. It was as if we had known each other forever. The universe had been quietly working its magic, and now, it was our time. A little bit of serendipitous magic.
