Like most fairy tales, our story began a long long time ago in a galaxy familiar to most. Middle school versions of Nico and Elizabeth shared a geometry classroom with no idea what their future had in store, and in Nico's case: no ideas whatsoever. After multiple failed attempts to get Elizabeth not to mark his homework as "missing" during her daily teacher's pet duties, Nico quickly realized his boyish charms held no power over her... anything romantic would have to wait.

Over the years and through hours of studying they developed a friendship despite their clearly opposite personalities (proof that no matter how obnoxious you are people will get used to you eventually). Sadly, it wasn't until Nico finally left Yorktown for good to start his professional career out in the Wisconsin winter that Elizabeth finally came to her senses and realized what she had in front of her. Luckily for her, Nico's first assignment was back to Duke hospital... A mere drive from where she was teaching math. She would get her second chance. Even luckier: a forgotten about job offer would trickle in for Nico with the potential to bring him back to the East coast. After careful consideration and a weighing of the pros and cons Nico accepted and the rest is history.
