It was a sunny beach day on Labor Day in 2018 and Melissa and Paul both went to the Post Card Inn. Paul was on the beach with his buddies blasting 80's rock when Melissa arrived with her friends. She was meeting up with a group of friends who happened to be set up next to Paul. The moment Melissa noticed Paul she turned to her friends and said "wow thats the hottest man I've ever seen!" The moment Paul noticed Melissa he turned to his friends and said "Oh that girl in the yellow bikini!" Our friends groups came together and started talking about the new seltzer Bon & Viv in comparison to White Claws. As conversations continued, Melissa and Paul learned about one another. Both were from Long Island and moved to St. Petersburg. Paul shared his fear of arthropods and that he was an accountant who studied in Plattsburgh. While Melissa explained how she accepted a News Reporter Job in Texas the Day before and is moving in 3 weeks. The weather took a turn and before leaving the beach in the rain Paul asked Melissa for her number. For the next 18 Days Melissa and Paul were inseparable. After 3 weeks Melissa moved away to Texas and they spent the next 11 months continuing to learn about each other and eventually committing to a long distance relationship.
