Grace and Lawrence, both 28, became friends at university. She didn’t realise that he had a huge crush on her …

Lawrence and Grace: ‘I know I can always count on him.’hen Grace joined her university Frisbee team in 2012, she was looking for a bit of fun. “I’ve never been sporty but I had friends doing it and I ended up really enjoying it,” she says. That September, a few months after joining the team, she helped to recruit freshers. She soon met Lawrence, who signed up – “to be polite”. “I ended up having a fantastic time though,” he admits.

The pair bonded at their first team social, and became firm friends. “For the induction, you had to watch at least twoback to back; it was very nerdy,” she laughs. “You then drank three pints out of a Frisbee. We got very sick together.” They soon began hanging out regularly, but Grace was still unaware of Lawrence’s crush on her. “He became a shoulder to cry on when boys would break my heart,” she says.

Grace continued to struggle with her health. In 2017, she had two major bowel surgeries and found it difficult to launch herself into adult life. “I had to live at home with my parents. It felt like I had regressed,” she says. She turned to blogging and social media as an outlet, and eventually moved out just before the pandemic.
