Who would have thought Friday the 13th would turn out to be the luckiest day in the lives of two people who had been on countless first dates? We met up at a cute little French bistro and wine bar during a rare respite from COVID in 2020. What started as committing to one jaded glass of wine with the usual expectation of being on the couch in sweatpants watching TV an hour later, became the best (and last) first date both of us ever had. Spending a lot of time getting to know each other during COVID, without the distraction of outside life, helped us quickly realize we were each other's person.
