Looking back, I often think about that first date—the roses, the perfect dinner, and especially the unusual message he sent the next morning. What could have been misinterpreted ended up becoming the start of something unexpectedly beautiful. It taught me that meaningful connections aren’t always born from flawless moments but from the authenticity that follows them. Today, when we laugh about that itemized message, he still insists it was his best idea. And honestly? I’m glad he sent it—because “worth it” has become the theme of us.
