Scott and Danielle met online and shortly thereafter exchanged numbers. Danielle asked Scott one evening if he had an accent since he was from North Carolina, and instead of answering the question via text, he decided to call so she could decide for herself. And yes, he does have an accent!
After a few weeks of talking and getting to know one another they spontaneously decided to meet at the Conch House. Scott was living in Orange City at the time and Danielle was in St. Augustine, needless to say Scott had a little further drive to get there.
Scott arrived first and he saw Danielle pull in so he walked out to the front of the restaurant to meet her. Danielle parked, got out of the car, and started walking towards the restaurant when she realized she didn’t have her mask… this was during a time when masks were optional but highly recommended. While Scott was watching her walk up and then turn to go back to her car, he thought, “This was the cheapest date ever!” He thought Danielle saw him, took one look, and turned to leave! Ha! Ha! Obviously, Danielle got her mask, they met, and ended up having a wonderful first date.
