How it began

Our Story

It started, as the best things do, with a small coincidence and a long conversation. A friend's birthday, a corner table, a shared playlist neither of us would admit to liking out loud. We left that night with no idea what was coming, only that we were already looking forward to the next one.

What followed were long walks through autumn streets, kitchen-counter dinners that turned into kitchen-counter mornings, road trips we didn't plan and quiet nights we did. Somewhere along the way the words "we" and "us" stopped feeling new.

On a soft afternoon, with the light slipping low through the trees, the question that had been waiting between us finally got asked. The answer was easy. The next one — the one we're inviting you to share with us — is on October 23.
