They met on a night they weren’t supposed to. Neither of them had planned to end up at Triangle Beer Co on New Year’s Eve, but thanks to a little twist of fate (and some very persuasive mutual friends), their paths crossed just as the clock was about to strike midnight. There was instant chemistry—Jordan played it cool, Zack smiled a lot, and something just clicked. A few weeks later, Zack asked Jordan out on what she always said would be her dream first date: wine and a carefully curated charcuterie board, followed by a competitive round (or three) of arcade games at Boxcar. Jordan didn’t let Zack win—and he didn’t mind one bit. They both left that night knowing this was something special. Soon after, it was time for the real test: a doggy double date. Kola and Raleigh hit it off almost as quickly as they did—clearly meant to be. Since then, life has been full of laughter, dog walks, deep conversations, and so much love.
