Like any good joke, our relationship started with a setup. Friends gave Robyn’s number to Sam, and she waited for a text that never came. Sam was busy preparing to hit the books as the oldest student in his law school class, while Robyn was getting ready to hit the stage in a comedy class. One pandemic later, our paths crossed again—on Hinge, where else? We matched, we chatted, but we never met up. Then one night, in a simple twist of fate, Robyn spotted a familiar face in the crowd during a comedy show in the Berkshires. Sam and his friends had stumbled upon the show while looking for something to do, and when Sam saw Robyn's name on the lineup, he knew they had to go. A week later, we finally went on our first date. We sometimes wonder what would have happened if we had met five years earlier—but like any good joke, timing is everything.
