Our story starts at our mutual friend's wedding. I know the bride, he the groom, and up to this point we had never met. We sat across from one another exchanging only pleasantries and went about the rest of our night separate.

Fast forward 3 months and 1 dating site later, we reconnected. After exchanging numbers, I waited 3 whole days for Leo to send a single text. When he finally did, it was as if we had known each other for so much longer. We eventually found an opening in our schedules and he made the hour long trek to Madison to take me out. At the end of our first date, he likes to share the story of us saying goodbye, it starting to rain, me jumping in my car to avoid getting wet and "leaving him to walk sadly alone to his car as I drove past him to get home", but our first date was a much better story than just that.

From that day on, we were inseparable, spending as much time as we could, navigating his schedule, and the hour distance we had between us.
