We both walked the same hallways and cheered for the same high school teams, yet we were mostly strangers to each other. Our paths hardly ever crossed in those formative years, despite being surrounded by mutual friends and shared experiences. High school came and went, and we went our separate ways, unaware that destiny had other plans for us.

It wasn't until our mid-twenties that fate decided it was time for our paths to intertwine. It happened unexpectedly, at a mutual friend's gathering. The moment we were introduced, there was an instant connection, an unspoken recognition of shared histories and experiences.

Now, as we look back on our journey, we're thankful for the twist of fate that brought us together. Our story is a testament to the magic of timing and the serendipitous nature of love. We may have missed each other in high school, but we've found each other now, and that's all that matters.
