… one evening over cocktails at Amanda’s apartment in Greensboro. She lamented to her cousin, Christopher, and his fiancé, Jessica, of her singular status. The couple jumped into action and recommended she meet their good friend, Gilson. Of course, they were prepared with pictures to follow and she approved of the idea of him. The couple got to work and approached Gilson with a proposal that the two meet. The idea of each other was mutually positive. But, getting set up isn’t as easy as it sounds, which is why we have to thank Hinge for nudging them forward. They swiped right and decided to meet. They courted over coffee and narrated the lives of various sea creatures on a visit to the Science Center Aquarium. Gilson impressed Amanda, having invited her to see him perform with local bands and symphonies. Amanda began to sing again after years of silence. They grew to learn more about themselves and each other and they started making music together. They fell in love and decided to become family for the rest of their lives.
