Alex was a Certified Nursing Assistant and Avery was the evening cook at a nursing home in St. Cloud, MN. Avery fell in love with the way Alex interacted with the residents because he was so sweet and patient with them. She would peek out the door to try to catch glimpses of him when she came to work everyday. Alex fell in love with Avery's magnetic smile, oceanic blue eyes and the way he was drawn to her. The day before their last day of work, Avery finally got the courage to write her phone number down and slip it to him. She chickened out on giving it directly to him and relayed the note to another nurse to give to Alex. Alex texted Avery that night and after some flirty texting, he asked her on a date. They went on dates every night of the rest of the week until Avery had to drive home to Texas to go study abroad in Spain for a month and Alex would move down to the Twin Cities to start his job at the Mayo Clinic as an RN. The night before she left, they made things official and the rest is history!
