When I saw you I fell in love, and you smiled because you knew.

A born Canadian, raised across the US and India, finds herself at a school in Virginia to study math. A born Marylander, raised in the DMV his entire life, finds himself at the same school to pursue medicine. The nomad and the native. Different lifestyles, yet similar upbringings with the same family values. Joined the same dance team. D, the strong-willed leader, setting the tone with her own tenacious example and work ethic. H, the goofy extrovert, keeping the team bonded together with his antics and good-hearted personality. Dancing together, they became friends. Friends who held each other accountable, kept each other smiling and laughing, had late night conversations about the important things in life. Friends became bestfriends. Shared everything with each other. Inevitably, feelings arose. These bestfriends pushed the feelings away as best they could, but you know how it goes. A few years of roller coaster ups and downs. But the friendship at its core, so pure, could never be extinguished. Timing. Sometimes, all it takes is some new perspectives, life changes, and the right timing. 2020 was a difficult year for all, but for these two lovebirds it was also the start of a beautiful relationship together. Canada vs USA, the mess-creator vs OCD-cleaner, artistic vs scientific, thrill-seeker vs keep-it-safe. DMV together, trying new foods, exploring different cities, finding new board games to play, listening to Bollywood lo-fi, making each other laugh and feel good. Head over heels for each other, love growing deeper each and every day. Welcome to the story of H&D, join us as we eagerly look forward to the next chapter together.
