You're supposed to be enjoying the fruits of your labor.

Yeah, and just chilling.

And not having an internet black widow take advantage of you.

Yeah, you don't need that.

So let's get into it.

Let's do it.

In the fall of 2012, so pretty recently actually, sort of.

It is.

In the fall of 2012, Fred Weeks was still mourning the loss of his wife of 54 years.

But he decided it was time to move forward in his life.

He wanted to start dating again or at least thinking about it.

And it was then that he met Melissa Ann Russell.

She was a 78-year-old woman who moved in four doors down from him in a retirement community.

And this was in New Glasgow, Nova Scotia.

A few days later, Melissa knock, knock, knocked on Fred's door.

And he told reporters, she just wanted to know if I was lonesome the same she was.

He was, in fact, lonesome.

And they hit it off and started a whirlwind romance.

It sounds like such a me cue.
