I owe them everything, my money and my husband.

I was a third wheel.

They had a son, you know, in Atlanta, there's these springtime festivals and I'd gone with them and their son to Summerfest in Virginia Highlands.

And I was with one of the dads, Michael, and Craig went to the funnel cake line.

And in the funnel cake line, he found himself standing behind a fellow dad who had a little girl at the school where his son went and just kind of casually invited them over.

Like, oh, a bunch of us are sitting.

And they come walking across the field and Michael starts punching me in the arm going, single, single, incoming single.

I'm like, I'm hot and I'm sweaty.

And I'm like, yeah, Michael, today's not the day.

And he sat down and we met and it was loud.

I mean, it's not like that moment was magic, but we met and then they left.

And then Michael looked at me and said, well, what'd you think?

And I went, he's like, well, that's more than I've heard out of you.

I hadn't like dated in four years.

So if Michael went on the PTA contact list and reached out

to the man we know as the husband today and to say, you know, just wondering, are you in a relationship and are you, you know, available?

And he wrote back that it's complicated.

And I heard that and I'm like, okay, I don't do complicated and forgot about it.

But like a month later, he emailed me and asked me out to coffee and here we are.

So we went out for a long coffee.
