Hailey lived in Brooklyn, Kyle lived on the New Jersey coast. While they were only about 22 actual miles apart, each had set their Bumble settings to a much smaller radius. Because in actuality, they were separated by millions of people, all of Staten Island, and the entire Lower New York Bay. Somehow, someway, perhaps during their daily transit, they came just close enough that they surfaced in each other's Bumble feed. Hailey swiped right the on the boy, a writer with a taste for cheap coffee and expensive whiskey . Kyle swiped right on the tender-hearted introvert who was looking for wine and conversation. You know the rest.
