On Sunday, June 25th, 2017 both were headed to the beach with their friends. Little did they know they would end up at the same one due to a mutual friend. After much sun bathing, of course food and drinks were needed. They ended up at Rooney's Restaurant where Nicola and Leo happened to end up sitting next to one another. Nicola began to elbow Leo, (so he claims to this day...) which started up conversation and began everything. After a walk to a tiki bar to enjoy beers just the two of them, him walking her to her car where they exchanged numbers the talks and the laughs were just beginning. They continued to talk from there, aging from beer to wine and continuing to love the beach ever since the unexpected Sunday.
