Sometimes things have a unique way of always working out. Matt was unexpectedly home for an extended period of time and out with his friend, and Ariel was at a restaurant an hour from home. Later that night, when both of them were thinking about leaving, they decided to stay a little longer and that's when they first saw each other. A conversation sparked and a few days later they had their first date. The following month, Matt went back to Quincy for his final semester of college and Ariel visited as often as she could and make it to almost all of his baseball games. It was never a question, they just fit together so well. 3.5 years filled with graduations, starting their careers together, travel, mellow mushroom dates, walks, and endless love.
