"On the days we scheduled to read our English papers in groups, Sam would leave his usual seat and find his way to my side of the classroom. We were both Writing majors at our University who became well-versed in each other's writing, but strangers otherwise. It wasn't until our grieving over the Haiti Earthquake in 2010 that we had our first conversation and learned we share the same Haitian ethnicity and both have family who were affected. After that, I realized we shouldn't have been strangers at all. We both worked in the cafeteria and were in our school's drama club. He was a complete nerd! I laughed at him more than I did with him until he charmed his way into my heart. He courted me. Our next play as a drama group was Midsummer's night dream and our director saw fit for Sam to play King Theseus and I, Queen Hippolyta. We've been making memories together ever since. On September 17, 2016 Sam asked me to be his Queen forever and I said Yes!" (????: @jonnieface_photo )
