To the Editor:

It was a hot night in the summer of 2011 when one of my friends dragged me along with her to a carnival in the Bronx, N.Y. I hadzero expectations for meeting anyone.

We didn’t exchange numbers that night, but he was always in the back of my mind. It wasn’t until five months later I had the courage to reach out to him through Facebook. From our first date at the movies to our first anniversary, we never thought our story would turn out the way it has.
