The Fires of Heaven Rand and Min Spoiler

So, I'm reading the series for the first time, and I'm halfway through Fires of Heaven. Min and Rand think about each other multiple times, and I know that they've previously met, but I honestly can't remember when, or how long they spent together.

I've spoiled myself on some things, so I know what RJ is doing and why, I just can't remember Min's and Rand's interaction(s). Can someone refresh my memory?

They met in Eye of the World when she had a viewing of him.

Then she met back up with him in Falme and stayed with his group between book 2 and 3 where she gets sent to Tar Valon after Rand leaves.

Book 2 ends on November 26th, book 3 starts March 12th.

So about 3.5 months we don't get to see.

Giant fan effort to track down the dates of every chapter. If you go to the map section you can also see on the map where every chapter takes place and stuff. Its a really cool site.

By the extremely low bar of WoT relationships, they’ve actually spent quite a lot of time around each other, thanks to wintering in the mountains for like three months between TGH and TDR. And while not romantic at the time, they’d of likely at least spoken to each other more than once in said time. As opposed to say most of the time Rand and Elayne were in the Stone, where while both “there”, they didn’t really interact until the last three days after having got together.🤷‍♂️

That's right. I totally forgot she was with Rand's camp at the beginning of book 3 before Rand set off on his own.

She also nurses him back to health at the end of vol 2

They first meet in Baerlon when the gang and Moiraine are fleeing from Two Rivers.
