LOVE IT!!!

What a great story - the wrong phone numbers, the trains, the spark (literally? long story?) -
You remind me of the only good episode in Season Two of Modern Love - but your story is better!

... two people meeting on a train at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. Michael and Paula fall in love and vow to see each other in two weeks' time, not realizing how the coronavirus will spread and force them all to lock down for far longer.

Which means, of course, that they're not able to get to the station at the appointed time. But is that the end of the story? Readers get to imagine how it will play out, and it WILL play out, or fans of the romance genre will storm the studios.

Yes, I like your story better, esp the waltz into the unknown, trusting that love endures:

I had to go all the way back to Australia, pack up everything I had...
(Including a 5 year old he'd never met!)
... passports, wallet, child....The blessings of my parents, the contempt of my ex, and the bitchiness of girlfriends who thought I was being irresponsible. Following ones heart, it seemed, was not the done thing.

I love happy endings. :) Happy Anniversary!

Haha @carolkean - thanks so much! There's many other little stories within that one that I keep remembering too. I do love our meeting story and we do find wonder in that memory even 18 years on! Loved your comment, thanks for taking the time!
