We met at Salute wine bar; it was a Friday in April. Vanessa arrived first, a spur-of-the-moment decision after a much-needed spa day with her sister Valerie. Matt arrived shortly afterwards following a long day of work. Matt entered the bar and immediately spotted Vanessa. Wasting no time and abandoning conventional wisdom of "playing it cool", he walked over to her and sat right next to her. Matt swears the bar was empty, seeing only her and Valerie, but Vanessa swears there were several people there- a point of contention to this day. They immediately struck up conversation, and in two minutes Matt was cracking "2-glass minimum" jokes, and in five Vanessa was sharing her tapas with him.
