Getting close

It was getting close to my birthday in May (second lockdown birthday) and I met Paul online. He was good to talk to so I said let’s go out for dinner as restrictions were being lifted. I’d broken up with my boyfriend of 2 years during lockdown and was devastated but Paul seemed like a lovely guy and I was determined to pick myself up from my breakup. We have a mutual love of food and music and he’s into watching the stars at night.
We had a lovely evening and he asked me out next time. It’s been 3 months now and he’s made me feel happy again.
