Haley and Ian’s story began with an elevator ride on Ian’s college move-in day. The elevator was crowded with Ian’s family, and Haley, feeling an instant connection, stood quietly in the corner. Though she wanted to strike up a conversation, the timing didn’t feel right. The atmosphere was tense but calm until an unexpected jolt stopped the elevator. A fan cord had gotten caught in the doors, and for a few long minutes, they were all stuck between floors. In those brief moments, Haley found herself wishing she’d been bold enough to speak. But with the elevator eventually moving again, the opportunity seemed to pass as quickly as it came. Later that day, unable to shake the feeling that she’d missed her chance, Haley decided to take matters into her own hands. She wrote a note, slipped it under Ian’s door, and left her number. It was a simple, bold move, but one that marked the start of something special. What began in a crowded, stuck elevator turned into a journey that has carried them forward, building a relationship that’s continued to grow ever since.
