Forever: found.

They each had multiple dating apps on their phones, but it really was Cupid who brought them together: OKCupid. The subscription version. Like, $20 per month. Luckily, she got to cancel that subscription after one month. His profile had been up... a bit longer. Her profile was relatively short, which was a feat considering how verbose she is. His profile had three pictures on it, and he looked like an entirely different human in each one. He sent a private message, in which it was delightfully obvious that he had read her profile in its entirety - probably more than once - and he asked her to "take a chance on a 90s baby." And she did. She's so damn glad she did. (So is he). They started talking the day after her birthday in May 2024 and haven't stopped since. Now they get to yap together forever. Best birthday present ever? Forever.
