It was 2019 - pre-pandemic. Maulana and Rojay had matched on Hinge just before Thanksgiving. After a day of chatting, Rojay quickly asked Maulana on a date to Round2 Cafe. Tired of running through the app dating motions, Maulana vowed that this would be her last date if it didn't go well - little did she know, it would be her last date because it would go better than well. Maulana arrived at the lounge first and waited for Rojay to arrive. He walked in smelling amazing and styled straight out of GQ. A gray peacoat and crisp, fresh haircut, with a warm and inviting smile to top it off. Maulana immediately spotted him from the bar and locked eyes. Rojay walked up to Maulana and says her warm embrace and upbeat energy signaled that she would be the one. The two sat at a high-top table under red, purple and green lights. Old school reggae and dancehall music were a backdrop to great conversation and a night of dancing. The rest is history.
