It all began with a humble one-thousand-peso bill on the day we met in person for the first time. We chose a cozy restaurant, and as we settled in, I thought he seemed gentle with the way he spoke, while he saw me as a quiet, timid woman. The moment that truly defined us came when we asked for the bill. He confidently offered to pay, only to discover that the restaurant didn’t accept card payments. With a sheepish grin, he turned to me and asked if I had cash to cover the tab. From that lighthearted moment, laughter flowed, conversations deepened, and now, here we are—ready to spend our forever looking back at those sweet, unexpected memories.
