Thomas and I initially ran into each other for the first time in March of 2022. At the time, we were both working out at Orangetheory Fitness. I was on my way to see my friend Mallory later that night and decided to stop at a different Orangetheory gym than I usually went to. What I didn't know was that this was the location that Thomas went to daily. We were placed next to each other on the treadmills in that class and both noticed that the other person was cute. We exchanged a few words during that class, but both went our separate ways afterwards. However, the next day our paths crossed again on a dating app. We started sending messages back and forth then, and we haven't stopped talking since!
