   First Contact

   Carter and Betty met for the first time on Facebook.com. He wildly impressed her with his deep and esoteric knowledge of Japanese psychedelia and sad British music. She impressed him with her bold and strange manner of expressing sentences through the written & spoken word. She seemed fun and exciting and leveled with him in a way he hadn't really experienced before. They got close really quick and in retrospect, there was definitely some latent romantic tension. But the two danced around those feelings (and with each other) and called each other just friends.

   THE DAILY CAL

   LOCAL GUY BUNGLES MAKEOUT SESH WITH HOT GIRL

   Well they eventually made out and did a couple hand things, but this great release of years of tension didn't seem to shake out the way either had hoped. They called it there and mutually agreed to just keep hanging out as friends.

   HOPE IS LOST: The Long Goodbye

   It seems that Betty and Carter's young hearts were star-crossed. After some growing distance, they shared a strained text exchange about smoking e-cigs through nostrils with neither knowing it would be "goodbye" for the next 7 years. Whether there were hard feelings between them or just something sad inside both of them, the world may never know.

   Hey, how've you been?

   7 years passed, but Carter found himself thinking often about Betty. There were words and jokes, places and people, all manner of reminders that would bring Betty back to his mind - but for no good reason at all, he never reached out to her. On the day Carter turned 30, Betty wished him a happy birthday over Instagram.com. They both happened to be in the same time zone, and after some brief texting they spoke on the phone while he was sitting in a treehouse-esque hotel sweaty in his boxers and she was super super high on the ganja. They spoke on the phone for approximately 3.5-4 hours and Carter was immediately reminded of how fun it was to talk to her. Hope had returned for the two to be in each other's lives again, but 7 years of no contact had left a massive gap to bridge. It would take another 14 months for things to really click.

   SHOCKING: Man has Obscure Premonition Involving Woman of His Dreams

   Another chunk of time had passed them by. Carter was living in Las Vegas. Betty had just left her job of 3 years and found herself on the entrepreneurial path. By chance, Carter once again observed through Instagram.com that Betty was in the US - and not just any city in Umerica. She was in SAN DIGGY, CA where he would be traveling in a week's time. He reached out, and they made a plan to meet up. After some texts and a phone call, Carter felt a sort of tingly nervous excitement about seeing her - but when she suggested going to see Rosalia together and they discussed over the phone, those tingles turned into full on palpitations. It's like he had seen a vision of himself and Betty lighting a new spark, and it raised the stakes of their humble plan to see each other for the first time in 8 years. Maybe it was wish-casting, maybe it was true Oracular Power. But Carter suddenly knew that he was finally ready to fall in love with Betty.

   WABABABIBA: Love Crashes to Earth

   When Betty and Carter met up for the 4th of July weekend in San Diggy, everything came together. Over the 8 years of minimal contact, Carter had somehow let himself lose sight of how fun and funny and eager and bold and beautiful and caked up and playful and sincere and charismatic and thrilling Betty was. Her laugh was everything. The way she looked in the waves of the pacific ocean while they talked about eyesight and family was like a dream, and when they were sleepily laying in the sand on the beach afterwards Carter felt a deep and irreversible "Uh Oh" kind of feeling that twisted up his insides in a way he hadn't felt in forever. The Rosalia concert that evening solidified that feeling and made his gut feeling a reality. From her strange and beautiful and kinda hot outfit, to her laughter leading him all across Pechanga Arena, to the pure awe of seeing Rosalia perform next to her, to her linking arms with him in the stairwell and him gently pushing her along towards front of the stadium, to them standing side by side mere feet away from Rosalia, hovering around each other all night, dancing around a certain that was so familiar yet also so new and utterly exhilarating - all of it drove him completely fuckin crazy. The next day, she spent all day with him and his family and somehow made the feeling of home and family way more fun and real and important. That day, Carter decided - he wanted this girl in his life forever, immediately.

7. Present Day

   I want to move in with you

   Well we know what happened from there. I mean kinda - it still feels absolutely and totally insane. I tried counting how many hours we've spent on the phone/Instagram Phone, how many texts we've sent each other, how many photos we've sent each other...and I discovered that it's a lot. I couldn't get enough of you, and I still can't. You make everything feel more real, more important, more beautiful. You make me feel more me, and you you've shattered everything I thought I wanted or I thought I could achieve in life. I want you, really nothing else at this point, and I can't believe you get to be here with me for so long.

   I love you so much Betty.
