How we first met was the most captivating moment in our life. The first time I saw my precious carnelian, we were in secondary school during break time and she was standing right in front of me. I remember that I was glancing over at her and thinking, OMG! she is so beautiful. Should I approach her, say something, or just do nothing; of course, she did not realize that I was gazing at her.

After a couple of years, she became close to my sister and that was how I was introduced to her. We started talking over the phone and we started connecting until I lost contact with her when I left my country in 2014 for the US and she eventually faded into the missed connection category. A few years later, two or one month before she arrives in the USA, unexpectedly, she texted me saying, 'Hello! I am coming to the USA'. We hit it off like nothing ever changed.
