Some of the best things in life are free, and some things are better left to chance. In 2019, Jake was living the bachelor life with his best friend Dexter. Polin was working as an optometrist. Jake and Polin were introduced on a beautiful evening in October by Brandon, Jake’s roommate and comrade, and by Nicole, another optometrist. You would think it was love at first sight for these two, but Polin’s heart already belonged to Jake’s best friend, Dexter. But given Dexter was a canine, he decided to do the right thing and step aside. After a few more evenings of hanging out together, Polin’s heart began to thaw and she could see what Dexter, Brandon, and Nicole saw in Jake, and agreed to go on a date. The destination of the date was not important, just that they were enjoying a glorious date together!
