Love has a way of finding you when you least expect it.Though we had crossed paths before, it was on the night of May 21, 2020, during a quiet graveyard shift at the Illinois Department of Corrections, that everything truly began. In the stillness of the sallyport, surrounded by silence and fluorescent lights, conversation came easy. We talked. We laughed. Time slipped away.
By sunrise, something had shifted. Breonda, with a spark of courage, asked Reymund for his social media—nervous to ask for his number. But Reymund saw the moment for what it was and offered his number instead.That small exchange marked the beginning of something extraordinary.What started as a late-night conversation has grown into a love that’s deep, steady, and full of joy. Now, five years later, we’re saying “yes” to forever grateful for that quiet night, and every moment that’s followed since.
