1,000 Miles & A Love Story | Nassie

Cassie never expected her love life-or lack thereof-to become an ongoing TikTok saga. What started as a few casual rants about being hopelessly single had somehow turned into an inside joke with thousands of strangers. Every week, she'd dramatically sigh into the camera, flip through a book she wished was her love story, and declare that the universe had, once again, failed her.

Then came Nick Wilkins.

At first, he was just another commenter. Then, he became a duet-er. Then, somehow, he became her favorite notification. He had this way of talking that was both awkward and endearing, like his brain was moving five times faster than his mouth could keep up.
