We met online back in April 2015. Our first date was at Viento Y Agua coffeehouse in Long Beach about four days after he contacted me. We laughed and talked for 5 hours straight that night, and then took a long walk around the neighborhood. During that walk, one of our fondest inside jokes formed. We had stopped in front of a beautifully landscaped building, and I said aloud, "I wonder what business is in that building?" Viktor started laughing incredulously as he pointed at the vertical sign that said, "OPTOMETRY" in large white letters, about 20 feet in front of us. That made for some hearty chuckling. Our second date was two days later...and well, the rest is history!
