It’s happening!! Christmas cheer is welcome, Santa hats are NOT.

It was the spring of 2017, a former reality TV star had taken the office of the presidency, the Rohingya refugee crisis was reaching a boil, North Korea was being shitty as ever, and Harry Styles had just released "Sign of the Times" driving home the devastating realization that One Direction wasn't getting back together. Yes these were tumultuous times, and this is where the story of our lovers began. As fate would have it, Amanda had been living with Frank's niece. This Svengalli had been toiling for months to get these two together, and her efforts had finally paid off. Amanda and Frank found themselves thrown together for a night of friends, cocktails, and deep house. The flirtation was as heavy and persistent as the Roland TR-909 drum machine. After the night ended, and they were both in their respective domiciles, the TEXTUAL part of the night began. Aware of Frank's string of recently failed relationships with Asian women, she not so subtly dropped this little chestnut on him: "you should try dating a white girl, we coo". Frank was instantly smitten! Alas, as these things often go, a cruel twist of fate separated these would be lovers for a few years. Fast forward to the fall of 2019, sitting alone on a ship in the Port of Charleston, gearing up to make a voyage to Kuwait. Frank was about to fall asleep when the sound of a text alert pierced the cool autumn night. It was his Great White Buffalo: "Hey, so, I'm single now. What's up?!!??!!" This would come to be known as "The text heard round the world". These two never looked back. Through long periods of separation, a global pandemic, and the unrelenting demands of their goldendoodle, these two have FORGED ahead. They have defied the odds and proved all the naysayers wrong. They. Will. NOT BE DENIED!!
