Love found its way through the warehouse where we both started as workers. His humor and charm caught my attention, but I kept my walls up. His respect for my boundaries deepened my respect for him.

We eventually became warehouse leads for the swing shift, our teamwork was unparalleled. We were two pieces of a perfect puzzle, fitting seamlessly together. A friendship grew, rooted in mutual admiration and trust.

After 3 years on our day off, I finally had the courage to ask him to meet me at a park. My romantic feelings for him had grown, I couldn’t ignore it anymore so I told him how I felt. It was as if all of his guards came down at once and he confessed that he felt the same.

Since that moment, we have been inseparable and have been working hard to build the life we’ve been dreaming of. The warehouse may have been where it all began, but the journey we’ve had since then has been better than we could have imagined.
