They were each holding a cat in their profile pictures on Bumble. Both swiped and as Bumble rules, Sahar wrote first and Jake answered. She loved that he was drumming to the type of music she liked, and Jake was attracted to her smile and dashing dimples. It was the peak of Covid, so they called and FaceTimed for about a month, and Jake began to fall in love by just talking to her. He loved hearing about her day and her life. Their first meeting would be at Harveston Lake, a mid point between their homes. They met with masks on and dared to hold hands.
It would be that park that became their meeting place. They would sit, talk, laugh, and continue to fall in love. Sahar loved that he was attentive, a great listener, and caring. Jake loved that she was intelligent, beautiful, and witty. She was supportive. She inspired him to be the person he strived to be. When Jake was with her, she felt like she was home. She loved that he found beauty in anything, which was part of his kindhearted and genuine nature. Around each other, they could be themselves… goofy. They knew that life is fun when you are always with your best friend.
Both could only see a future with the other—a future of love, laughter, and family. So there at Harveston Lake where they had met so many times before, Jake asked Sahar to marry him. She of course said, “Yes,” to the man she loved.
