In September 2022, Claire and Nate met at Publico in South Boston. Claire came back to Southie to meet her friend Elle for a reunion dinner, after moving out to the North Shore a month prior. Nate was out with a few friends, one whom was a mutual friend of Elle's. What we thought would be a quick hello, turned into introductions and our groups joining. Nate and Claire exchanged numbers and had their first date at Parla a couple of weeks later!
