OUR STORY

This romance begins at a local comic book shop. Willow would occasionally visit here with friends, and Madison hosted games every Thursday night. One night in October 2019, Willow needed a shoulder to cry on and Madison came to the rescue. As he recalls, it was the best decision of his life.
