How it happened

Our Story

We took the long way here. These are a few of the moments that mattered enough to remember.

    Two corridors that kept crossing

    We met as students. A passing hello in a corridor became a coffee. A coffee became a habit. A habit became something neither of us could explain to anyone else.

    Long walks in places that weren't ours yet

    Travels turned into rituals. Streets we did not grow up in started to feel like ours. We were learning to belong somewhere new together.

    Building a home with a view

    A small apartment in New York with a window that holds the whole city. Two desks, one cat, plants we keep forgetting to water, dinners that take twice as long as they should.

    The yes that wasn't a question anymore

    Patent prints on the wall, the city outside the window, eight years of small days that had been quietly answering a question we'd never asked out loud.

And then there was January 22, 2028.
