Heidi and Andrew met under unusual circumstances, in a way that would change the course of their lives. Heidi worked at a medical cannabis shop, where she had just made peace with the idea of being single. Andrew owned a vape brand and was visiting Heidis shop to deliver new product.

When Andrew arrived at the shop, Heidi was managing her shift, and there was an awkward problem—no money allocated to pay him. Despite this, Andrew agreed to leave his products with a promise of payment at a later date. This seemingly business-oriented meeting turned into an unexpected connection, as Heidi and Andrew began to chat. They discovered they both had ties to California, with Heidi planning to move there soon. Andrew offered to help her connect with some California cannabis companies, so they exchanged numbers to keep in touch.

Andrew returned to the shop a couple of days later, as promised, and continued his conversation with Heidi following the Hash Bash event. Despite their initial declarations that they werent interested in dating, their conversations grew longer, and a genuine friendship began to blossom. What started as a simple meeting over business gradually became something deeper. Their bond grew stronger as they spent more time together, and here they are today—sharing a life that neither of them expected but both are grateful for.
