Bruno’s dating profile proudly declared his love for “code and apple pie.” Before their first date, Jess confessed to her friend Kat that she wasn’t sure about dating someone in a wheelchair, but he seemed really cool and would probably make a great friend. Then she met him… and everything changed. On their first date, Jess offhandedly claimed she made the best apple pie in the world. By the second date, she was riding the train from Valhalla to NYC with a backpack stuffed with a pie dish, rolling pin, and measuring cups, because Bruno, naturally, owned none of them. She was determined to prove her boast. As they began dating, Bruno introduced Jess to the magic of New York City: hidden neighborhood gems and nights spinning to salsa, merengue, and bachata. In return, Jess revealed the magic of NYC’s food scene, teaching Bruno to truly savor every bite, pushing him to explore bold new flavors, and explaining why certain tastes were simply meant to dance together. Somewhere between late-night dances, fresh-baked pies, and falling deeper in love with the city, they fell deeply in love with each other. Jess realized she hadn’t just found a great guy, she’d found her forever best friend. And to this day, she’s still not entirely sure whether Bruno fell for her or her apple pies first. Either way, it worked out pretty perfectly. 🍎🗽
