It all started in September 2024. Morgan was just in a major car accident and her SUV was totaled. She had a broken ankle, a black eye from a fracture in her face and was out of work due to her injuries. Morgan was showing her roommate her dating apps and the misery that it was and how she wasn't even looking to give anyone the time of day and told her to have a ball.
Morgan's roommate, Emily, began swiping for her and they joked about the apps, until she came across Dalton's profile. Emily paused saying, "this one is actually cute! And he has an actual bio!" They were intrigued by this and scanned the profile and read what he had to say. Morgan shrugged her shoulders and told Emily to give it a go. Low and behold, it was a match.
In Dalton's bio, he wrote that he enjoyed checking out local coffee shops. So with Morgan not one to hold back, she messaged him asking which one they were going to first as her opening message.
They began exchanging messages and he quickly asked for her number and began texting each other. The conversation was flowing naturally and they planned to meet for coffee in a few days. That is when Morgan threw him a curve ball. She told him about her accident and that he would have to pick her up, that she was on crutches and that she had a black eye.
I mean hey, perfect chance to read his intentions. Because if you can't accept me at my worst, you don't deserve me at my best!
Dalton picked her up and took her to coffee without hesitation. He was a total gentleman and helped her with her crutches. They sat outside the local coffee shop, Lazy Labrador, and talked for two hours. Then, he told her that he really didn't want the date to end and asked her to go to lunch. They drove to a local brunch spot, First Watch, and ate lunch together. Afterwards, they still were enjoying each other's company, however, her ankle began hurting from being out and about.
Morgan told him that she doesn't normally do this, but that he could come back to her house for a movie, and that she really needed to get off her ankle. He came to her house and they watched a movie. They ended up spending the entire day together when it started out as "just coffee."
As he left, he kissed her on the back porch, and they decided to meet again. Three days passed and Morgan wanted to make sure that he was serious. She invited him to watch the football game with her and some friends. Dalton walked in with her favorite candy in hand, gravitated towards her the remainder of the night, and has not left her side since.
Needless to say, she found her lobster.
To steal Morgan's brother and sister in law's idea, (with their own twist) she also began a music challenge on Spotify with Dalton. They created a playlist and added their own music to it little by little. Dalton and Morgan got to know each other through their music tastes, which was VASTLY different, but shared a love of music nonetheless.
