It was a rainy day in November 2018. Joe had a work event that Nicole’s agency planned. They had only met once, and didn’t know much about each other, so they started from scratch: So, how’s life?

The hours and days that followed carefully toed the line between professional and flirtatious conversation. Soon after, Nicole’s then-boss staged a fake work dinner and promptly backed out of it, which became their first date.

Things moved quickly from there, as they do when you live on opposite sides of Brooklyn. They moved in together a couple months after Joe learned Nicole’s favorite Daft Punk song had never been on the top 40 charts.

As they say: the rest is history!
