November 10, 2018 - Two random strangers bump into each other on the dance floor on the 3rd floor of the DL - one of the biggest Manhattan bars. They are instantly intrigued by each other and exchange phone numbers. They both circle the bar looking for each other with no luck. Nick texts Sara the next morning and says they should get together sometime. Sara saves his number as “Cute Nick from the bar” to return the message later - and forgets.

September 19, 2020 - Nick and Sara meet again at an apartment party on the East side of Manhattan. Nick compliments Kate's enthusiastic dancing and the three of them talk for a while. Nick runs to his cousin Brook and complains about how a girl talked his ear off. A few minutes later, Nick is wandering the apartment looking for Sara. When he finds her, he is relieved that she is still there. As the night is ending, Nick goes in for a kiss. Sara stops him and says "Wait!", and Nick looks immediately defeated. Sara said "No, no, I just forgot your name!" and Nick laughs, gives Sara his name, and kisses her. When they go to exchange numbers, Nick already has her number. Confused, and with Sara a little weirded out that this stranger has her number saved, Nick remembers who she is. He quickly messages the number to bring up the two-year-old text messages. Sara's Apple watch buzzes to a text message from "Cute Nick from the Bar" and they are both smitten in disbelief. They agree to go on a first date a few days later.

Nick brings Sara's mom dried lavender flowers and brings her dad apple pie from a Farmers Market.

November 10, 2020 - Sara meets George and Fran for dinner a few nights later in NYC. Fran says she is so amazed that Nick met a girl who talks as much as he does.

They woke up every morning to church bells, Italian espresso, laundry hanging up from the line in the windows & pastries from local markets.

May 12, 2024 - Nick tricks Sara into thinking she is getting brunch with her sister Kate. He ran out for “coffee” as Sara was doing laundry. He comes back rushed with no coffee, saying he found a key to Gramercy Park. Sara rushes to get ready and runs out the door. As they walk into the park on this wet, on-and-off rainy Mother’s Day morning, there’s nobody else in the park. Nick starts rambling about the history of the park and then all of a sudden says “So you know this is all a ruse right?” Nick tells Sara how he loves her and wants to spend the rest of their lives together. To be honest, they both blacked out the speech part due to pure excitement. And, then, Nick got down on one knee. Sara is still in shock so she didn’t answer until he said “Sooo.. are you going to answer?!” And Sara screamed, “Oh, yes!!!!!”
