Santi: A month later, I asked him on a date. We watched Bridesmaids at an outdoor cinema.
Oskar: I was obsessed. But I didn’t have a permanent place to live…
Santi: …which is when my friend and I found a three-bedroom and needed another roommate.
Oskar: We moved in as friends.
Santi: At least, that was the plan. But that first night, I was really cold and I found my way into his room.
