Our story began with a champagne-filled brunch and a spontaneous FaceTime call. Roseline’s friends had a feeling Chris and she would hit it off—and after a 15-minute chat, she agreed they could give him her number. Two weeks later, Chris showed up at her son’s birthday party. The next morning, he texted her, and she replied with a very confused, “Who is this?” (Don’t worry, he made sure she wouldn’t forget him after that.) Their first date was a full day of coffee, plant shopping, and art—and from then on, they were inseparable. One day, Chris showed up at Roseline’s door with a duffel bag… and never really left. These days, not much has changed. Their lives are still fueled by coffee and art—though now it’s more finger painting by the kids than gallery walls—and they wouldn’t have it any other way.
