An Unexpected Friendship

Whether it be for a Reason, Season, or Lifetime, friendships are powerful connections between two people that bring them together. Aric & Axel were destined to meet, but will they be able to sustain their friendship with the miles between them? Time will tell. The road ahead isn't always straightforward, and sometimes, life has a way of throwing in unexpected curves and detours. A storm is brewing, but what does it mean?

Aric & Axel continue to get to know each other, even with the many miles between them. They have found the time zones can be challenging when communicating over the phone, but have learned it's a hurdle worth jumping over to further their friendship. Aric finds himself busier than ever when his club soccer team enters the Champion's League. This causes Aric to travel more and have more soccer games, making it harder for him to spend time with the people closest to him. Axel continues teaching online and spending time with his friends. Axel begins struggling with various symptoms, which most likely stem from the concussion he got during his trip to Germany. Aric & Axel's lives change forever after receiving an unexpected phone call.
