Once upon a time, in a world full of chance encounters, two lost souls lived in parallel.

They had known of each other for years - sharing the same college friends, laughing at the same jokes, frequenting the same places.
But the two never crossed paths in person. Never at the same parties, or sitting on campus near each other.
No one ever thought to introduce them, so they remained mere shadows in each other's lives. Just a name in passing stories from mutuals.
Clearly, their time had not yet come and the universe was waiting for the right moment.

Until along came a random day in 2019 when a small, unexpected twist of fate happened.

In a sea of faces, they both popped up on each other's Tinder feeds and they both swiped right.
(Xavier even "Super Liked" to make sure he had a chance to talk)
However, the fact that they knew each other already was unknown at that time.
It wasn't until after a very awkward first date that they realized they had been in each other's lives the whole time. They just needed a chance to meet.

Now, several years later, the two souls can't imagine existing without the other.
