The Real-Life Rom-Com

The Meet-Cute (2017) Girl walks into a Lower East Side bar. Girl picks up boy. They date for a bit, but early-twenties chaos gets in the way. Cue the "right person, wrong time" intermission as they head off to figure out adulthood separately.

The Slow Burn (2017–2023) Enter the pen-pal era. Six years of "hope you're doing well" texts, life updates, and a healthy sprinkle of flirtatious banter..

The Brooklyn Plot Twist (2023) Neil gets a job site in Brooklyn and invites Victoria out to "see the view." Spoiler: It was a total trap. By the end of that summer, they were inseparable.

The Sequel Fast forward to today: they are living together, entirely obsessed with their rescue dog, Rico, and officially taking themselves off the market.
