A Love Story Born from forgotten Passcodes

As fate would have it, Connor, a fourth-year medical student at the same institution, entered the scene. On that eventful day, a simple forgotten code to the workroom brought their paths together. Lora, ever the epitome of grace and charm, opened the door to find Connor standing there – “THE cutest med student,” as she would later describe him in a text to her best friend. It’s a charming anecdote that encapsulates the feeling of excitement and nerves that can accompany a newfound connection.
