Dear Reader:

This story begins where you find yourself in this very moment — on your phone!

Yes, Chloe & I met online, on a dating app named Hinge —”The app meant to be deleted”. That tagline Hits Different when you actually get to delete the app.

After a reasonable time “talking“ (whatever that means) and Chloe questioning why I had a careless driving charge dismissed in Alaska (it was the other driver in the Getaway Car that was careless!) we decided to meet.

We had a drink, on the side of a causeway — we’re all old enough to remember Covid-times. I was so Enchanted upon meeting Chloe, I showed up with my Covid-mullet; I was pretty sure she thought I just crawled Out Of The Woods of Pasco County.

It was The Best of Day-tes, interestingly we met on the same date as Tom & Mandy’s wedding anniversary. The first drink progressed to another a little further down the road, out of the trunk of my car in a Honeymoon Island parking lot. There’d be no Champagne Problems this night, Covid-times called for Vodka while we watched the sunset.

A few dates later, Chloe would come to my home and soon she’d Stay Stay Stay as we quarantined from the pandemic. I remember Chloe being impressed that I had actual window treatments, not a blanket for privacy from the Midnight Rain.

Long Story Short, This Is Me Trying to tell the beginning of The Story Of Us. It’s Nice To Have A Friend who’s a (legal) Mastermind and a beautiful soul to share the rest of my life with all wrapped up in one; it’s something I could have never imagined in my Wildest Dreams.

We hope you’ll celebrate The Story Of Us, Forever & Always.
