Met randomly
"as I sat there, my face buried in my hands, poorly trying to hide my sobbing as the last of the flames flickered among the remains of my house - a (slightly inebriated) young lady wonders over, a small child dressed in a bright red coat on one hand, a drink in the other - I pause waiting for a word of kindness or sympathy . . . perhaps caring - instead I'm greeted with the "rock on" hand sign and a compliment on a "cool bonfire" - and yet, through this humble beginning, a friendship was borne"

Fate brought us together
"we used to date eons ago - but we broke up a few months after finding out that we are half-siblings - we still have a close bond, but now only see each other at family reunions and swap meets"
