At the time, Felix was directing and planning a short film and was in the process of casting. He did something that felt a little awkward: he said, “Hey, I’m a director and I’m casting for my new film... and I think you’d be perfect for it.” She laughed, found it charming, and gave him her number so he could text her the casting details. After all, she was living in LA, why not go to an audition?

A few days later, Felix told his team about her and was really excited that she might actually come. He even went to the reception to greet her. He was nervous, and they were both thrilled to see each other again. But in the world of film, casting decisions aren’t made by one person alone. And Allie didn't prepare for the audition and pretty much sucked, so Felix texted her to tell her the team didn't choose her for the part, but he still wanted to keep in touch.

After that meeting, life got in the way. Allie moved back to the East Coast, and Felix got busy with more and more projects.

You might think the story ends there but it didn’t.

Almost two years later, Felix was scrolling on Instagram when a recommended profile popped up. It looked familiar, but he couldn’t place it. He followed her, and not even 30 minutes later, she messaged: “I remember you.”

He was stunned and confused. He messaged back: “Please help me out here, jog my memory. How do you know me? Where did we meet?” Her response? “Dude, really?” with a playful tone.

They started messaging, and slowly, it all came back. They retraced their steps and remembered how they met. Their messages turned into conversations, and even though they were 2,682 miles (4,316 kilometers) apart, they found a new way to connect.

They reconnected while playing multiplayer video games. Allie showed Felix the ropes, guided him through the game, and at one point he jokingly asked, “Is this a date?” They both laughed, and she said yes.

After that, they spent many nights talking, watching shows and films together, sharing music, and staying up for hours on end.

Allie told him she was going on vacation to Mexico with her family and another family they’d known for a long time. Since she’d be relatively close again, Felix had an idea: what if she did a layover in LA so they could finally see each other in person again? She agreed and they were both thrilled to make it happen.

Felix was so excited, he told his closest friends and roommates. Allie spent her vacation in Mexico excited for the visit. When she arrived in LA, one of her local friends picked her up from LAX and drove her to Canoga Park, where Felix was living. Both of them were nervous. But the moment he opened the door, they hugged each other right away, relieved and overjoyed.

The time they spent together was magical. They visited museums, explored the city, and made the most of her time in LA. When they went to Universal Studios, Allie showed Felix where she had worked, what she had done, and even introduced him to some former colleagues.
