故事开始于 2022 年的感恩节假期。在 Hinge 上的匹配让我们有了第一次交集。很快，Atoboy 餐厅迎来了我们的第一次拜访。尽管创新的韩国料理令人惊叹，那道从不单卖的炸鸡更是令人眼前一亮，但这一切都比不上我们之间奇妙的吸引和默契。随着几次迈阿密和纽约之间的往返，我们的故事也正式展开。

Our story began during the Thanksgiving holiday in 2022. A match on Hinge brought us together for the first time. Soon, Atoboy restaurant welcomed our first visit. While the innovative Korean cuisine was astonishing, and the fried chicken that's never sold separately was a real eye-opener, none of it compared to the wonderful attraction and chemistry between us. With a few trips back and forth between Miami and New York, our story officially began.

不久之后，我们搬到了 Jersey City，建立了属于我们自己的家。如果你有机会观察这个家，你会看到很多细节。有挂在门口的海边合影和 5×6 的小照片墙，有收藏 Opus One 的小酒柜，还有 Smithsonian American Art Museum 的冰箱贴，那些都承载着我们共同的美好回忆。从夏威夷的海边漫步，到感受拉斯维加斯的璀璨夜色，享受新奥尔良的爵士文化，探索波士顿的历史气息，随着一起走过的路越来越多，心与心的距离也越来越近。

Not long after, we moved to Jersey City and built a home of our own. If you have the chance to observe this home, you'll notice many details. There are seaside photos hanging at the entrance and a small 5×6 photo wall, a little wine cabinet storing Opus One, and fridge magnets from the Smithsonian American Art Museum—all carrying our shared beautiful memories. From strolling along the beaches of Hawaii, experiencing the dazzling nights of Las Vegas, enjoying the jazz culture of New Orleans, to exploring the historical charm of Boston, as we traveled more together, the distance between our hearts grew ever closer.

当然，两个人的意义更在于平凡的生活。我是一名 hedge fund trader，她是一位 M&A banker，我们都在曼哈顿中城工作。步行五分钟的距离，承载了许多工作的压力和快乐。理解和分担，让日常生活有了别样的色彩。我们喜欢组织和参加活动，不管是和佛州检察官讨论有趣的 Florida Man 案例，还是和 WSET Level 4 大师学习品酒，或是与药膳师探讨中医和中餐的组合如何在布鲁克林大放异彩，我们收获的是志同道合的朋友和更加开阔的视野。我们也会宅家娱乐，既交流 Daniel Pink 笔下《全新思维》中的人生意义，也讨论《黑神话：悟空》的游戏难度和精美设计，还会探讨 The Menendez Brothers 案件纪录片背后的真相。生活的点点滴滴流过，留下了美好丰盈的生机。

Of course, the significance of two people lies more in everyday life. I'm a hedge fund trader, and she's an M&A banker; we both work in Midtown Manhattan. A five-minute walk between our offices carries much of the pressure and joy of work. Mutual understanding and sharing add a special color to our daily lives. We enjoy organizing and participating in events—whether it's discussing interesting Florida Man cases with a Florida prosecutor, learning wine tasting from a WSET Level 4 master, or brainstorming with a medicinal cuisine chef on how to make a splash with the combination of Chinese medicine and cuisine in Brooklyn—we've gained like-minded friends and broadened our horizons. We also enjoy staying home, discussing the meaning of life in Daniel Pink's A Whole New Mind, talking about the difficulty and exquisite design of the game Black Myth: Wukong, and exploring the truths behind the documentary on The Menendez Brothers. Life flows through these little moments, leaving behind beautiful and abundant vitality.

我们知道，未来注定是充满意外和惊喜的旅程。但我们也明白，携手前行，我们将充满勇气，披荆斩棘，拥抱阳光。

We know that the future is destined to be a journey full of surprises and unexpected moments. But we also understand that by moving forward hand in hand, we'll be filled with courage, overcome obstacles, and embrace the sunshine.
