Her friend made the profile. His friends made his, from a beach in Mexico. Her friend found him first and messaged him as Meaghan for a week before Meaghan took over. Once she did, she spent another month making up reasons not to meet in person. She almost passed on him entirely. Then his birthday showed up on social media, she sent a message, and finally said yes to a first date. The restaurant they picked was closed on Wednesdays, so they ended up at a place neither of them could afford, splitting mussels and ordering margaritas. Two days later he invited her to watch the Celtics, not at his place, but in a garage full of twenty of his closest friends. Sink or swim. She aced it. They spent every day after that.
