We informally met at Ellen’s (Doniqua’s cousin) birthday party which was hosted by Bionca (Patrick’s niece). Oddly Delaney walked right up to Patrick and hugged him as if she’d always known him. This made him very uncomfortable........Fast forward about one month later. Ellen and I were about to go out dancing. Patrick walked up to me and said “you smell good, where y’all going?” I said “out...why?!” From that moment forward every time Patrick saw me he expressed his interest. He was VERY persistent, a gentleman and extremely charming. After a while, I finally gave him a chance. We had our first date, and sparkles were flying! We learned so much about each other and how our values, morals, beliefs, and life goals align. I was beginning to believe there is no such thing as a soulmate and then he walked right into my life. He is truly the man that I’ve always wanted and prayed for.
