It all started with an innocent crush on Myspace in 6th grade and a friendship that only extended via flip phone because they were too young to drive a car or tell their parents they wanted to meet up with a stranger from the internet.
Brandon and Tharsis would talk on the phone for hours during that era and continued to be social media friends throughout the years without ever meeting in person.
Years later, Brandon decided to DM her to finally meet. He was enlisted in the army and Tharsis was exploring her early days in college. Their first date was over 12 hours long.
The rest was history.
