It all started on December 2, 2022. We'd been texting for a month but had yet to meet up because Dom was occupied by his true love, Andy Campbell, in town visiting from Australia. We finally picked a night for our first date and met at a Christmas-themed pop-up bar in Belltown. I walked up from across the street, and Dom, ever the gentleman, thought to himself, "Daaamn, look at those legs. If I wasn't waiting for my date, I'd definitely hit on her." Lucky for him... I was his date. We spent the first part of the evening shivering in line, bonding over the truly romantic sight of Dom's nose running nonstop in the cold. Once inside, we ordered two cocktails that tasted like liquid candy canes and diabetes- and immediately decided to escape to a speakeasy down the road. Somewhere between the bad drinks, the snot, and the Christmas lights, something clicked. By the end of the night, we both knew this was the start of something good. And the rest, as they say, is history.
