90 Mile Radius

Once upon a time, Grace was tired of online dating. After a terrible string of online dates, she decided to do what every rational woman in her early thirties does - deletes the apps for a few weeks. So she successfully deletes Bumble, but when she opens Hinge, she finds the most incredible smile on a man who's taking a picture in front of JFK (which was slightly goofy but really cool)! So I swiped on him and closed the app. From Erick's point of view: he opened Hinge and let out a VERY loud laugh because Grace had photoshopped her head on someone else's body who was holding a fish. From that first moment he was (obviously) hooked. Our Hinge conversation started with a "Howdy" and we quickly found a lot in common. Fast forward to our first date (which Erick planned perfectly - and drove 2 hours to Wilmington and 2 hours back home in the same day) we enjoyed a nice brunch, went bowling where Grace kicked Erick's ass, had Pelicans, drove around Wilmington and had a blast (neither of us wanted the date to end). Erick said "I still don't understand how we matched, my radius is 5 miles" and Grace responded with "well my radius is 90 miles because I've been searching for a man for 10 years". AND NOW HERE WE ARE.
