It was a typical Friday night—one of those where you don’t expect anything too out of the ordinary. Judy, my work friend, invited me to a Beef and Beer event at Sunnybrook Ballroom, something we’d often do after a long week. At the time, I had already made other plans, so I politely declined.

I ending up sending Judy a text later that night: "Is there still room for me to join?"

"Of course there is!" she responded almost instantly.

When I arrived, I was greeted by Judy and her husband, Ron, along with their sons, Sage and Seth, and Sage’s girlfriend, Lisa. I’d met Sage and Lisa before, and it was a delight to see them again.

The night was buzzing with laughter, music, and good vibes. Seth and I spent the evening dancing, joking around, and talking about everything under the sun all night long. Seth isn't just another guy, he is unique and a wonderful man.

There was a rough storms rolling through with pouring rain, the winds howling, and a tornado came through the heart of Pottstown that night. Judy insisted that I stay the night with such wild weather. I didn’t think twice about it.

The next morning, as I was preparing to leave, I did something completely out of character, I was being bold — I left Seth my number.

I had no idea if he would reach out to me, but as I walked out the door, a sense of anticipation lingered in the air. I couldn’t help but hope he would, even though I had no idea what to expect.

Then, that first text from Seth arrived, and in that moment, everything shifted. It wasn’t just a simple message—it was the beginning of something real. I knew then that we were on the same page, and that spark I felt that night was mutual. That text marked the start of a new chapter for us.
