We met the night before our senior skip day in high school when our friend groups decided we would all be going to Boston the next day. Although we attended the same elementary, middle, and high school growing up, our paths hadn’t crossed until that night. We knew right away that we liked each other; we both adored each other’s friends and family, shared the same interests, and felt a strong connection quickly. Early into the summer of 2012, we made our relationship official and have been best friends in love ever since.
