It all started on a rooftop in Brooklyn. It was one of those perfect late-spring days only New York can deliver. Lydia's childhood friend from Georgia had just moved to the city, and it seemed like the ideal moment to introduce her to the magic of NYC. But, in a fun twist, it was her "new to the Big Apple" childhood friend who was actually making the introductions.

"Lydia meet Peter, Peter meet Lydia" And CLICK. It was special from that point forward.

Lydia and Peter quickly became inseparable, exploring every corner of the city, laughing until their sides hurt, and always finding new excuses to spend time together. Before long, Peter was inviting Lydia as his "plus one" to friends' weddings and people began asking "So...is this your GIRLFRIEND?" or "Are you sure you're not dating?" They would laugh it off, but somewhere between all the jokes and adventures, the friendship started to feel like something more.

Then came one memorable December, when they both tested positive for COVID. Quarantining together was a perfect answer, albeit in a tiny New York apartment. When most people would have had enough of each other after a few days, they realized the opposite was true: they actually wanted to spend more time together. That's when their love story truly began.

What started as an easy, joyful friendship became the foundation of everything. Because, as they've learned, the only thing better than being best friends is being best friends in love.
