His family was already planted in the CCC church, and I was a newly saved soul there. Nothing special ever happened between us, even though we saw each other at every church event or every Sunday. It was just the usual members greeting each other after the service with a simple hi or good morning.

I remember seeing him in front, playing the bass during praise and worship. I thought he was cute, but not really my type.

Then we went on an outing at a resort. It was supposed to be a girls only outing, but the food was too heavy for us to carry, so our leader decided to invite some of the boys. According to him, that was the moment he fell in love with me.

He started by greeting me Merry Christmas just to begin a conversation. At that time, I desperately needed a blood donor for my school requirement, and he tricked me into thinking he met the weight criteria for donating. The truth was he just wanted to start talking to me.
