It all started at Anto’s birthday party in September 2019. Julio, a mutual friend, brought his roommate Michael along. Anto asked him to take a quick photo of her and her friends—just a simple moment they didn’t think much of at the time.

A few months later, in February 2020, they found themselves at another party. Michael had rushed back from a snowboarding trip, and Anto had almost skipped it to stay in watching 10 Things I Hate About You. Thankfully, they both showed up.

Not knowing many people there, they started talking—and ended up talking all night long. They laughed, danced, and something just clicked. That night sparked something special, and they’ve been stuck with each other ever since.
