As an avid art lover and collector, I met Chuck in early 2017 at his art show and we quickly became Facebook friends. After not seeing each other in person for a while, we reconnected at an art gallery brunch that showcased Chuck's works. Chuck later messaged me to let me know how much it meant to him that I was there and to thank me for coming. We kept chatting and eventually he asked me out. On our first date, he brought me things both handy (water filters for the fridge, lightbulb changer extender arm), and romantic (the most beautiful and best smelling flowers I've ever received). Neither of us had planned to start dating anyone, so when we looked at each other through those eyes, it was that mix of the universe, kismet, timing, synchronicity...
