Once upon a time on New Year's Eve leading into 2022, Emily got COVID from her sister and was spending the evening alone. What does a single lady do alone on NYE? Swipe on a dating app called Hinge. There, she saw Charles' profile and swiped right. Then she waited. And waited. And then forgot about it. Two months later, Charles finally swiped right back on Emily and sent a message. Unfortunately, he caught Emily during a busy week of job interviews, so she was only giving one-word answers and accidentally ghosted him for a week. Somehow Charles was still interested, and they finally met up for their first date at a coffee shop which ended up leading to a 7-hour first date consisting of a walk along a greenway, lunch and shopping for books and records. Safe to say they were very enamored with each other and soon fell in love and the rest is history. They lived happily ever after.
