Once upon a time (2022), a mutual "friend" introduced us at the fine dining establishment known as Applebee's. She thought she was setting herself up for a cute friend date. Instead, she set the stage for her own early exit. Kyler, being way too charming for his own good, picked up my dinner tab. Kyler and I became friends that night, and exchanged snap chats. Me being the visionary that I am, gave him my phone number via snap chat and said "Go ahead and save my number, in case things don't work out with her." (Plot twist: They didn't.) We like to think of it this way: She introduced us, and then life-or karma-took care of the rest. One lost friendship, one found forever. And honestly? We'd make that trade every single time. One text, one date, and a million laughs later, here we are-still together, still eating good in the neighborhood, and still very much not sorry. Moral of the story? If you find your soulmate at Applebee's...never let him pay for someone else's dinner again. Sometimes you lose a friend...and find your forever. #Worthit
