Once upon a time...the world was in a pandemic. We couldn't go out and one person was out of work for a long time. Another was working in the medical field. One day Caitlin decided to download a dating app called Hinge. Not realizing that she didn't delete it before the pandemic began. She had a lot of unread messages that were over a year and a half old. One of those messages was from Bobby. She replied to his older message and he quickly messaged her back on March 28, 2021. After a few back and forths they decided to just call one another. They talked for hours from March 28th to April 2nd. In total they spoke to each other for 24 total hours in less than one week. They had their first date at The Old Plank in Logan Square on April 3th. By the end of the night they were walking around not wanting it to end! Quickly deciding too meet the next day too! The rest of the story can be told through pictures!
