Cupid: Match




























In their words:
Here's the very short story of us.

We met for a margarita at Esperanto on Avenue C after work one hot day in July.
February came, we road-tripped to Quebec City for Winter Carnival. Jesse thought I was a good ski buddy.
We decided to go steady.

I learned to ride a bike again.

We spent a lot of time in Brooklyn, on barstools and on bike seats.
We ate loads of oysters and burgers and stuff from the international aisle of Trader Joe's.

One sunny Saturday, we got on the LIRR to Montauk.
Biked some crazy hills to the lighthouse.
Jesse had a ring in his pocket.

He was nervous. He might have been sweating.
I might have said no.
But I meant yes. I was nervous too.

We ate with the locals, crashed a party, danced to some cover bands at the Memory Motel.
We biked home tipsy.
I was wearing a dress.
