Okay, full disclosure, we "met" before 11.4.18...BUT for all intents and purposes, THAT is the day where the sparks flew! We were two people placed in the same section of our first semester of law school. Although we knew "of" each other, we did not mingle all that much (despite having mutual friends). Towards the end of the semester, the groups blended, and we decided to go out for a night on the town (Yes, we mean Farmingdale. Where else?) After having a great night out with friends, it was very clear we both felt the connection. By the following school week, we were essentially inseparable... and we wouldn't have it any other way <3
Unlike a lot of people, I really had NO idea what was happening on this day. It was 5 o'clock on a Friday, and I was supposed to grab some drinks with some friends and Ernesto was set to meet up with us. My friend, Sam, asked if I could walk with her to the New York Library to "drop off a package." I was reluctant, but she, very aggressively, forced me walk with her. Ernesto, who had been working from home that day, was standing on the steps to the library, in a suit, with roses and champagne. You would think it would click, but nope. I proceeded to question Sam relentlessly - "Why is he standing up there?" "Why is he dressed up?" "Why isn't he just walking towards us?" "What's with the roses?" As I walked up to him, I then began to question him. It STILL had not clicked what was occurring. It wasn't until he grabbed my hands and started speaking that the light bulb finally went off. It was the easiest yes of my life. P.S. Notice anything about the dates?
