She worked at Islands Restaurant. We all thought this tall guy worked at Islands Restaurant with all those other tall guys! He'd moved from Maryland to San Diego and built strong friendships. In 2016, he moved to the LA/OC area for a new job position. She had already moved to Long Beach two years prior. I was excited to have a familiar face in town! I had offered to make a "Welcome to Long Beach" dinner for him. Prior to dinner, Luke asked me to come check out his new place. When Luke came to meet me out front of his apartment complex, I instantly felt attracted to him. We ended up riding down the boardwalk, as I rollerbladed for a workout, and he rode his purple bike given from the Ellis'. There was one moment where my wheels got stuck in the crack in the sidewalk and Luke was right there to catch me. And since then he's always been there to protect and take care of me. He makes me feel safe and loved. Anyway, I ended up making dinner and it was delicious!!! Oh! And we fell in love! -Heidi
