Lena and Jake lived in different states—Lena in Chicago, Illinois, and Jake in Austin, Texas. Both were in their late twenties, working demanding jobs with little time for dating. But one evening, Lena, feeling lonely, joined a popular discussion forum about music, her lifelong passion. At the same time, Jake, who was taking a break from his tech startup work, stumbled into the same thread. Their first conversation wasn't romantic. They talked about favorite albums, debated song meanings, and laughed about each other's taste. Neither expected that this random interaction would change their lives.
