They met at Hartwick College in 2018 when Desiree was a first year student and Emma was a sophomore. They were both in the 3 year degree program studying psychology and took many classes together. As the semester progressed, their friend groups intertwined and they hung out on a daily basis. They maintained their friendship for a year and a half, but then things started heating up... On a chilly September evening in 2019, Desiree had come to the realization that she had romantic feelings for Emma. As luck would have it, their mutual friend was hosting a s'mores event outside Emma's residence hall. So, Desiree journeyed to Leitzell to visit Emma and their usual crew. As they roasted marshmallows, theirs happened to touch. Desiree immediately saw the opportunity to say "they kissed!" Of course, Emma blushed and giggled. Not long after, they were cramming for a test in their abnormal psychology class. Finally, it was Emma's time to shine! The topic was behavior-modification and Desiree needed an example of a token economy. Emma explained, "For example, if I gave you a kiss every time you made your bed...," Desiree quickly interjected and said, "I would make my bed every day!" Believe it or not, they aced that test. The romance continued to flourish during their study sessions, hang outs, and shared classes. In October, Emma professed her undying love for Desiree and on November 3rd, 2019, Desiree asked Emma to be her girlfriend. The rest is history!
