Before New York City shut down completely on March 22nd, our lives were completely different. Even though we can still communicate and still form connections, things just do not feel the same. It is like trying to fit a square peg in a round hole.
Arden and Sam met at the MET. Unlike most days in NYC where you are bumping into random strangers and not thinking twice about it, these two had a completely different experience when they met. One would think while being completely surrounded by Monets that you wouldn't be able to take your eyes off of the artwork, but this was not the case for both Arden and Sam. They awkwardly exchanged glances between each other, until Arden finally built up the courage to say something.
"Hi... so you like art?"
These introductions weren't genius but somehow, the pair found themselves laughing and enjoying themselves while walking through each art-filled room. By the end of the night, they weren't just exchanging unsubtle glances, they were exchanging numbers. They made it a habit to meet up and explore different museums. Mid-day museum explorations turned into late night conversations over coffee and jazz music. Their habit turned into something much more.
Until this...
