Will and Nikki met at Applebee's on a humid July afternoon. Nikki had just moved across the country, running away from her family and looking for a job to support herself while she finished high school. Will was working as a host while studying for his pre-med classes. From the moment their eyes met, they felt an instant connection.

They spent every waking hour together, talking about their dreams and ambitions. Nikki wanted to pursue a career in sports media, while Will was determined to become a doctor. They both knew it would be a challenging road, but they were willing to face it together.

After finishing high school, they both attended Texas A&M. Nikki worked tirelessly as a server at a local restaurant to support herself, and Will spent countless hours studying for the MCAT. Over the next four years, they created a small family of two cats, Brady and Ezio, and a dog named Onyx. They studied together, laughed together, and supported each other through the ups and downs of college life.

After graduating, they decided to move to Los Angeles. Nikki wanted to pursue a career in sports media, and Will was determined to get into medical school. It wasn't easy adjusting to a new city, but they had each other to rely on.

Nikki worked diligently, networking and building her portfolio. Meanwhile, Will gathered valuable experience and patient interaction with his new clinical research role. Despite the long hours and occasional setbacks, they never lost sight of what was important-their love for each other.

They were both chasing their dreams, and it would require sacrifice and hard work. But they were determined to make it work, just as they had all those years ago at Applebee's. They continued to support each other, never letting their love falter, even in the face of adversity.

Over the years, they faced many challenges together, but they never lost their love for each other. As they sat on their balcony overlooking the bustling city, watching the sun set over the Pacific Ocean, they knew that they had each other, and that was all they needed. They loved each other very much, and they knew that their love would continue to grow, even as they faced the challenges of the future.
