The year is 2016 and Devin has just started his first year at Cal State Long Beach after transferring. Knowing nobody but his cousin/roommate Chris, he decides to join the fraternity Chris is a part of. Much fun and growth was had and Devin was meeting new people at an outrageous rate. He is having a good time.

During this time another has also transferred to Cal State Long Beach her name, Tori Aguirre. Since she too was new and didn’t have any connections she decided to join a sorority where she will later find some of her best friends.

On a hangout much like many others, some friends of Devin's friends show up and tiny Tori Aguirre walks in. She's cute! She proceeds to take part and encourage the fun but also doesn't say too much, making Devin curious about her. Countless similar evenings are had in group settings and she always lingers in Devin's mind.

It is now July 4th, 2020 in the early pandemic months. College has been graduated and Devin is still hanging around in a house of 5 dudes. Meeting new people has stopped, just dudes. A girlfriend of a roommate invites a friend over for the house's 4th of July party and that friend is Tori! She's looking good on America's birthday! Devin, now a marginally more mature 26 year old man, gets to talking and having real conversations with Tori. A spark is born that day.

Over the next few months, an official courtship begins. Over the next couple years, their careers solidify and they decide it's time to take things to the next level and live together. They still like each other years later! Devin decides that is a rare gift and, inspired by some friends who have reminded him he is not 20 years old anymore, decides to pop the question in January 2024. Tori and Lily do literal backflips and agree immediately. The greatest love story ever told (Tori and Lily) had gained a third participant and the world was saved!
