We met while Erin was working for St. Michael's and Dante was sponsored by the same church to seminary at Nashotah House. We had many great conversations over the years, but just remained friends. Last summer Dante invited Erin to coffee and they stayed until they closed. After Erin started working in Springfield and Dante started working in Havana, they hung out again over another cup of coffee for Erin and tea for Dante. Technically Dante hates coffee, and loves tea. Even though he drinks coffee far more than you can imagine for someone who hates it. We went on a real date after that, and the rest as they say is history.
