Ralph and I met the very modern way—on dating websites. Honestly, I truly believe that if we hadn’t both been online, our paths might never have crossed. Ralph is a true homebody and rarely ventured anywhere near Queens, so fate needed a little help from the internet. After we exchanged numbers, we finally talked on the phone for the first time. Ralph came on with the deepest Caribbean accent imaginable. I didn’t think much of it at first… until he suddenly dropped the act. When he “broke character,” I laughed so hard I could barely catch my breath. In that moment, I realized two things: we shared the exact same sense of humor, and I had met someone who felt like home. And that was just the beginning.
