"Seven years ago, Matt Tornero and Delaney Heil were at a crossroads. It was their final semester of college and they were taking the capstone class for their Honors minor. Both were wondering what would come next, not knowing that part of the answer was sitting beside them. While they officially met for the first time in that class, they soon discovered they had crossed paths dozens of times before."
