how they met

as fate would have it, nick and meredith’s love story began with a little help from a mutual friend, maxine, who happened to be nick’s coworker and meredith’s dear friend. during those strange days of lockdowns and social distancing, nick decided to host one of those not so allowed covid gatherings, and maxine arrived with a few friends in tow, one of them being meredith.

from the moment she walked through the door, something about her caught nick’s attention. the night was filled with laughter, stories, and the kind of effortless connection that only happens once in a lifetime. though surrounded by friends, nick’s focus never wavered. he knew there was something special about meredith.

the next morning, with his heart still set on seeing her again, nick devised a plan. ever the gentleman, he reached out to maxine, who had spent the night at meredith’s, and offered to bring breakfast, hangover remedies, and a generous dose of his signature charm. it was a simple gesture, but one that marked the beginning of something extraordinary — the start of a love story they would never forget.
