Story
Her Side
A friend at work told me she knew someone who she thought would be perfect for me. After a couple of false starts (including giving him my number and him not calling me) we finally hit it off, looks like she was right. Not only is he perfect for me, he is gorgeous to boot.
He didn't call me because he was worried about me being from Australia, and that it would be complicated. I'm still from Australia, and it will definitely be complicated, but damn this once in a lifetime love is worth it all.
His Side
It was a normal Friday afternoon during summer. We were having drinks and wings watching the cubs play; the only difference was Victoria being there. I hadn't met Victoria until that day but heard about her from a mutual friend. I played it cool for the first couple of drinks while all the guys tried their best to court Victoria. When I finally gained the courage to talk to her, I pulled out my best dad jokes and to my surprise Victoria actually seemed to enjoy them. As the night went on, I could tell there was something special between us that I couldn't explain. At that time I didn't know what would eventually be, but couldn't be happier with the outcome.
As you can see in Victoria's version, it took me a while to come to terms with falling for a lass from a world away, but the alternative of living a life without her wasn't an option.
