Xavier & I (Linda) met in junior year of high school (he was a new student at my school), & had first period English together. We felt butterflies for each other back then, but didn’t start dating until we were both 20 years old. In 2022, I left a 3 yr abusive relationship with an ex. Xavier & I met up for the first time a week after. He’s the most gentle, sincere soul & supported me while I was being harassed after the break up. We took our time getting to know each other & fell deeply in love.

Going on our first vacation just the two of us, to Los Angeles in our first year of dating. We’re from New York and went for my (Linda) 21st birthday. We had the very best time exploring Hollywood, going to our first bars & clubs, taking a day to go see Malibu (which was insanely breathtaking) and so much more. We stayed in our own Airbnb which had a balcony view of LA and a rooftop area! We could see the Hollywood sign from there, it was surreal and one of the best experiences of our lives! :)

With $20,000 we would definitely invest half or all of it. Or we’d go on a couple vacations, but our priority is to find an affordable apartment or space for us to live in together. We live 45 minutes from each other and we do see each other every week, but we have talked about finding a place that can become our home. $20,000 would allow us to either travel and create long lasting memories, or settle down in our own place to live. We’d use it to better our lives.
