Boy Meets Girl

Ben found Ciara after she crashed her bike and took her back to the cabin. They bonded, and when he was accused of torching the place, she defended him.
Ben found Ciara after she crashed her bike and took her back to the cabin. They bonded, and when he was accused of torching the place, she defended him.
Ben was about to leave town when Ciara convinced him to stay. Her injured leg caused her to stumble, and they ended up in close proximity when he tried to catch her.
Ciara invited Ben to stay at the loft, which caused conflict with her boyfriend, Tripp, who had previously enjoyed being the only shirtless hottie arround.
Ciara was stunned when Ben revealed that he had fixed her bike. It had belonged to her dad, Bo, and was treasured, so the gesture meant a lot.
When Ben finally admitted that he had feelings for Ciara, the two nearly — but only nearly — shared a kiss. She resisted just long enough to throw this photo off center. Shortly thereafter, they became a couple.
Ciara became angry with Ben for conspiring with Claire and took off to visit Theo for a time. She returned but was kidnapped by Ben’s unhinged sister, Jordan. He saved Ciara from the fiery cabin, and she returned the favor when Jordan tried to kill him.
Ben and Ciara celebrated Valentine’s Day and made love for the first time. They were in his new place after he took a job with Stefan DiMera.
After Ben helped rescue Ciara from the cabin again — this time from Claire — her Hope finally came around to the idea of her daughter being with the former Necktie Killer.
Ben landed in prison for a long stint after being accused of a murder he hadn’t committed. Ciara pretended to be done with him but only so she could get to the bottom of things. Note: Her pretending was more convincing than it looks here.
After Ciara saved Ben from being put to death in prison, the pair reunited in the hospital. They shared a close moment during his recovery. And after. Close moments were kinda their thing.
Ben popped the question to his lady love and used a fortune cookie as the lead-up in a romantic gesture. Ciara accepted his proposal and wanted to get married right away, but Ben needed to save money.
Ben and Ciara got their big church wedding, but their bliss was short-lived as a bomb waited for them at the end of the aisle. Its explosion led to Ben and Ciara taking turns being presumed doomed and desperately searching for the other.
When Ben eventually found Ciara, she was caught in the rubble of a different explosion. Upon waking up, the years she had spent with Ben were missing from her memory. Thinking of him only as the Necktie Killer, she demanded a divorce and left for Johannesburg with Theo.
Ben refused to sign the divorce papers, so Ciara got an annulment instead. But just as she was about to meet Theo at the altar, Ben swooped in and whisked her away to the cabin to try and jog her memory.
After getting whisked to the cabin and opening a fortune cookie, Ciara’s memory returned. Newly reunited, Ben and his sweetheart embarked on their new life together starting with a honeymoon to New Orleans.
Upon their return from their honeymoon, a re-possessed Marlena convinced Ben and Ciara to get pregnant, so that it could have a soul to corrupt. Needless to say, the demon was sent back to hell without baby Bo.
In the summer of 2022, the new parents decided to set sail for a grand adventure, tracing the route that her parents once had on a boat named (wink, wink) Living in Cin.
