Their story began as many modern-day romances do—online. Plenty of Fish, to be exact. Shaylan was growing tired of the boring messages the many suitors would send her, but Thomas’s message hooked her right away when he asked, “What is your favourite historical time period?” With that question, Shaylan knew Thomas was different. Their first date was going so well—a crisp walk in the park, warm tea, and good conversation—until it came time to say goodbye. Thomas boldly went in for a kiss, but Shaylan turned her head at the last second, leaving him to kiss her ear instead. Despite the awkward ending, both Shaylan and Thomas knew they had met someone special and decided to see each other again. Since those first dates, their love has grown, and they have continued to make each other laugh daily—because sometimes true love begins with kissing the wrong target.
