IT WAS MAY 2020, THE HEIGHT OF COVID. STACEY WAS BORED ONE AFTERNOON SWIPING ON HINGE, WHEN SHE STUMBLED UPON A HANDSOME FELLA’S PROFILE. STACEY TOOK THE STEPS AND MESSAGED HIM FIRST. SHE COMMENTED BACK TO HIS PHOTO THAT HE DID IN FACT PICK A HORRIBLE TIME TO MOVE TO NYC. OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF MONTHS, WHILE JOE WAS IN CALIFORNIA, THE TWO WOULD TEXT BACK AND FORTH NEVER TALKING ON THE PHONE OR FACETIMING. EARLY AUGUST, JOE CAME BACK TO NYC WITH THE PLANS OF PACKING UP HIS APARTMENT AND MOVING BACK TO CALIFORNIA. BUT, FIRST HE NEEDED TO GO ON ONE LAST DATE TO CLOSE OUT HIS TIME IN NYC. (WE ALL KNOW HOW THAT WENT.) 🥰 IT WAS LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT FOR THE TWO; THEY WERE INSEPARABLE PRETTY MUCH EVERY DAY AFTER THAT FIRST DATE. COVID WAS TOUGH FOR MOST BUT BROUGHT TOGETHER A PERFECT LOVE STORY.
