Jake and Robin were destined from the start, they just didn't know it yet. Robin had just moved to Novi, MI to start fresh and to begin a new chapter in her life. Unfortunately, a little piece of Robin's past followed her in this journey. This little piece *cough* ex boyfriend had wormed his way back in, hoping to mend things with Robin, dragging on her coat tails because he didn't have a job to support himself. This is the part in the story where Jake comes in! This straggler had come into Jake's place of employment one day looking to see if they were hiring. Jake was the one to speak to him, they both hit it off and Jake said he would put in a good word. To Robin's dismay her little straggler got the job at Black Rock with Jake. However, she didn't know that this would need to happen for her to eventually meet the love of her life. Robin and Jake had met unofficially quite a few different times before they ever actually spoke one on one. In fact, they were distant acquaintances for four whole years. They had been to several of the same parties, Robin had helped Jake with some clothes at her place of employment, and Jake had served Robin quite a few times at Black Rock. All of these instances and they never shared more than a few words between each other. However, there always seemed to be something lingering that neither one of them could understand. After a couple years of "knowing of each other" but never officially meeting, Jake added Robin on Facebook. Robin was super excited because she did have this unexplainable attraction to Jake, so she accepted the friend request. She immediately searched him up to find out.... he was in a relationship. She thought, "well I guess I missed my chance." A couple more years went by and Jake decided to shoot his shot. He liked a few random pictures on Robin's page and Robin bit. On May 7th, 2017 Robin messaged Jake asking him if he would be interested in getting a drink together and getting to know each other. After four years of knowing each other, they officially met. That first date was filled with laughs, genuine connection, and deep conversation. Their love story unfolded from that very moment and they both realized what had been lingering all those years prior. You never know what thin threads will tie you together and you might never quite understand why you had to go through the things you went through. But, when you look back you'll see that everything aligned exactly as it needed to be. God has a plan for everyone and for Robin and Jake it was true love.
