We started making out, but, and then we exchange numbers. And he was living in new york. I was in lay.

So we were like, we're gna just do this by costal long distance fantasy. And one day, if destiny allows us, we will meet up again, right? We started talking regularly on the phone, and this was kind of before face time kind of took off.
