The Time that made us Meet
Our story begins in 2018 when I was an incoming freshman at Howard University. My twin sister and I needed to confirm our housing arrangements and visited the Office of Residence Life, where I first saw TK. The first thing I noticed besides his gaze was his dimples. Wow, he’s cute, I thought.

Very First Date
From there, we casually dated and I realized he wasn’t half bad. He was actually kind of sweet but planned on going away for training before being deployed. I had no interest in dating someone in the military due to the likelihood of constant relocations and maintaining a long-distance relationship. We decided to end things and remain friends. TK would always check up on me and invite me to wherever he was stationed, but I never obliged. Upon his return from deployment, he let me know that he wanted to begin seriously dating. I, unfortunately, was in another relationship at the time. His response: That’s fine. I can wait. It’s just a matter of time.

The Day When we said each Other.
Four years pass. One day while on Facebook I get a “poke” from TK. I respond by saying, I think you poked me on accident. We don’t like each other, remember? He responds: No, I poked you on purpose. I know exactly who you are ... and I never said I didn’t like you.
