They first met when they were just eight years old, quickly becoming inseparable. Whether they were square dancing, working on their animals at the fair, or simply finding any excuse to spend time together, they made the most of every moment. Childhood sweethearts in the way only kids can be, they thought they had forever—until life took them in different directions.

For eleven years, they went their separate ways. Then, one night, their paths crossed again. A familiar face, an unexpected moment, and just like that, their friendship picked up where it left off. Not long after, they found themselves at Bourbon Cowboy, ringing in the new year on the dance floor.

That night, something felt different. What started as a childhood bond had quietly grown into something more. Now, years later, they’re ready to take the next step—together.
