Aria and Gabe met while on vacation at the beach in North Carolina with their friends. Gabe had just signed up for the military and this was his farewell party with his close group of friends. Aria was there with a group of her girlfriends celebrating her 19th birthday. Aria caught Gabes eye while they were out at a local restaurant having dinner. Aria was wearing the most beautiful sun dress that brought out her deep brown eyes and her beautiful, friendly smile. They locked eyes as she walked by his table and he knew he just had to meet her. Once she was seated he sent her over a drink and smiled at her. He has very handsome and had a enchanting smile, it felt like love at first sight. Since the meeting in the restaurant they were inseparable for the rest of the week, walking the beach, star gazing, dancing, singing karaoke together (and they made quite a duo😏) and having long intimate talks together. It was like two souls found their mate. The end of the week’s vacation came and it was time to say goodbye. It was very difficult and sad for them to do but Gabe had to leave to go over seas and Aria had to get back to medical school. They promised to keep in touch( the old fashioned way by sending hand written letters and postcards) they also promised to have weekly FaceTime meetings. Time went by and Aria met someone new at school. She loved him and he made her happy but it just was not the same feeling she had when she was with Gabe. Gabe also lost touch with being over seas and not being able to keep in touch with her as much as he would have liked but she was always on his mind. Months turned to years and Aria married and had 2 kids. Gabe met someone also and settled into a life with her, but something always felt empty. Years and years go by and Arias husband dies of a sudden heart attack. While grieving her lose she decided to go back to North Carolina where she felt the happiness she felt that special summer with her best friends and where she met Gabe. She was sitting in the restaurant where she met Gabe for the first time and wearing the same dress when a familiar voice came over her shoulder. She turned around and couldn’t believe her eyes, it was Gabe sitting at the table behind her! They locked eyes like it was the first time they met and stared at each other for a while then got up and embraced each other so tight. They picked up right where they left off. Come to find out Gabe is now single, his relationship didn’t work out because the connection he craved just wasn’t there. Nobody compared to Aria for him. He went back to North Carolina as well to gather his thoughts and relax, never imagined in his wildest dreams that Aria would be there. Their love story continues and they lived the rest of their lives happily ever after.
