Brandon – I was Miami raised, sun-soaked and street-shaped. Growing up with Nate and Logan, we forged the kind of friendships that don’t fade no matter where life drifts. We learned early how to have each other’s backs, and that’s something I’ve never let go of.

Art’s always been my language. Tattoos, especially—there’s something real about putting stories on skin, turning pain, memories, and meaning into something permanent. Now I run my own tattoo shop, built from the ground up with grit and a steady hand. On top of that, I’ve got a stake in a kink club—because I like energy, movement, people finding pleasures in unexpected ways.

I didn’t take the college route, but don’t let that fool you—I’m sharp, I learn fast, and I trust my instincts. Life’s been my classroom. I ride motorcycles, chase adrenaline when I can, and I’m always down for whatever comes next. But no matter how far I go or how fast I move, one thing stays the same—I show up for my people. Every time.

Somewhere along the way, Allie became more than just part of the group—she became my favorite person. The one I look for first in a room, the one I’d rather spend a quiet night with than be anywhere else. There’s just something about her—how she sees the world, how she listens, how she makes everything feel a little more grounded. I don’t make a big deal out of it, but if I’m being honest, she’s my favorite place to be.

Allie – Georgia born and bred, Southern charm and hospitality was instilled in me since birth. Maybe that’s why I knew I wanted to be a nurse at a young age and take care of people. And that extends to the family that I chose down here. They took me in and made feel like one of their own.

I love getting together with my girls for girls nights – Lacey, Cara, and Kelly all have something about them that I emulate, and as the youngest of the crew, I look up to them like my big sisters. Each of them taught me something different just by being who they are. I’ve always looked up to them, even when I didn’t say it out loud.

I’m the kind of person who listens more than she talks. I love hearing everyone’s stories—the wild nights, the risks they take, the lives they’re building. Part of me wants all of that too… I just don’t always know how to ask for it. I’m working on that, though. Trying to be a little braver in my own way.

But through everything, Brandon’s been my person. My best friend. The one who somehow understands me without me having to explain. No matter how much I grow or change, I know I’ve always got him—and that makes me feel a little less afraid to go after the life I want.
