It started as a friendship in 2021, completely platonic, just enjoying each other's company and easy talking. The first time we truly hung out was a last minute trip to see the Tennessee Volunteers take on Ole Miss. We drove an hour and a half to attend the craziest game and drove back the same night, having only a few hours until we had to be awake. We lost touch in 2022, but in the very beginning of 2023 we rekindled our friendship. Blade was in Texas and we FaceTimed for hours just chatting and hanging out, some calls lasting upwards of 10 hours of just talking. Blade then came to Knoxville for a weekend and that was when we knew it was much more than just a friendship. From then on we went back and forth visiting each other. Serenity spent her summer in Texas and Blade moved to Tennessee so they could live together and pursue college together after he completed his Army mobilization. Since then, we have traveled to Greece where we got engaged at the most beautiful lighthouse on the coast and explored an amazing country as just two people in love.
