Collins and Osato had crossed paths twice before, their lives momentarily brushing past each other like fleeting whispers in the wind. Yet, those moments went unnoticed, with no words exchanged—just passing glances that neither thought much of at the time. It wasn’t until December 2018 that fate decided to step in more deliberately. One quiet evening, Collins was scrolling through Instagram when he stumbled upon a profile that stopped him in his tracks. Osato’s radiant beauty and warm energy leapt off the screen, captivating him instantly. Without overthinking, Collins hit the "Follow" button and sent her a friend request. A direct message followed, simple but thoughtful: “Hopefully this doesn't come off as corny or creepy. You are very beautiful and I will like the chance to get to know if you are single” To his delight, Osato responded, and what began as casual conversation quickly blossomed into something deeper. They talked about everything—their shared passions, dreams, and the serendipity of finally connecting after all those near misses. From that first DM to now, their journey has been one of discovery, laughter, and love, proving that timing might not always be perfect, but it’s always right. And today, as they plan their future together, they can’t help but smile, knowing that it all began with a simple message and a leap of courage.
