Tommy and Holly both attended CSUSM and lived in the same apartment complex (Cortabella) for 2 years, but their paths never crossed. Not even once. Fast forward 2 years. Holly is in the second year of her graduate school program and Tommy is working as a salesman. Thankfully their mutual friend Logan invited them both out for drinks at a brewery called Helia in Vista. In true Holly fashion, she forgot her wallet which had her id and credit card in it.. Therefore, she couldn't get a beer and was worried she was not going to get let in. After she was let in she hid in the back because she was the only one without a drink. But then Tommy saw her by herself on the back patio. He walked up to her and asked her what she was doing and why she hadn't grabbed a drink yet. She explained the situation she was in to him. In true Tommy fashion, he offered her his beer and said it was no big deal and he would go get himself another one. Fast forward another year and a half.. Tommy had covid, Holly made him cookies, and they have been together ever since. ◡̈
