Our story began in the most unexpected way—through video games. Our very first encounter was magic, as we played for 16 hours straight, lost in laughter and conversation. If I recall correctly, the very next day, we played for 14 hours more. Michael was in Wyoming, and Krissandra was in Texas, but the miles between us felt nonexistent. A month and a half later, he flew all the way to Texas to meet her in person. We shared our first date at a comedy show in Austin, where his favorite comedian surprised the audiance with his presence. It was perfect.
