How we met
We met on the first day of graduate school at the University of Washington. We were assigned to the same orientation group. Apparently, Griff liked Arti after this first meeting, and so he decided to play "hard to get" for the next few years. After some initial interest in Griff, Arti decided he was "just not that into her". So several years later, after Arti had transferred to Harvard and moved to Cambridge, she was a bit surprised when he expressed interest in joining her on a trip to Patagonia. But it was Patagonia after all. Arti, Griff, and Arti's friend Dominic spent a week backpacking in the Torres del Paine National Park. During this time, Arti and Griff got to know each other better, but Arti, at least, suspected nothing else. Finally, on the last day of the vacation, Griff confessed to having had a secret crush on her for the past four years. Arti decided that when someone literally follows you to the end of the Earth he probably deserves at least a chance...and four years later, here we are.
