As with most love stories, its beginning was either a lot of luck, or a thread weaved of undeniable fate. Cory was on vacation and should not have been in Sarah's "distance zone" for matching on Tinder. After having matched, Sarah was growing tired of dating and thought to herself, "This guy seems nice, I'll go on a date with him and then take a break." They met at a bar in late August, so it was still warm enough to sit outside. They talked for hours, and the conversation ended begrudgingly due to Sarah being up too far past her bed time. The staff was shocked to see them emerge, having assumed that they had left and forgotten to reclaim Cory's credit card. Outside, they shared a kiss goodbye and the rest was history.
