How We Met

It was all a set up!

Rachael had recently purchased a home in North Port, FL during the summer of 2017. By fall, her AC had broken twice and she had called TriCounty Air Conditioning out several times to fix and diagnose different problems. Ed was working as a tech at TriCounty at the time where Rachael's sister, Emily, also worked. Emily worked the front desk at the time and her good friend, Maddy, worked customer service in the back and often dealt with Rachael when her AC went down. This is when the plotting began. In November, Emily tried to set Rachael and Ed up on a blind date but Rachael declined because she was too shy. There was a large part that needed to be replaced in her AC unit but she was able to get through the cooler winter without much trouble. However, come May, the unit could not longer keep up with the heat. Determined to bring the two together, Maddy scheduled Rachael's repair as an "Ed only" call so that the two would finally have to meet. And it worked.
