Louisa and Aamen first met at University College Dublin in Ireland, where Louisa was studying through a program with Cornell and Aamen was a student

Aamen asks Louisa to coffee with a story that he is trying to have coffee with a new person each week. Years later, he admits this experiment was invented

Aamen visited Louisa in New York in 2021, and that is when things got real. Aamen followed Louisa to Seattle for Thanksgiving to continue the fun and meet the whole family

From then on, Louisa boomeranged between New York and Ireland over a dozen times, and Aamen visited New York as much as he could given his ongoing Irish citizenship process. We began to look forward to early morning airport reunions
