The road trip

I was in the middle of a nasty divorce when lockdown started. I had been dating some-mostly sleeping with guys I met on Tinder- and slowed when the lockdown started. But still living with my ex took its toll, and I found myself back on Tinder. I met M. We texted for a while and made plans to meet in person at his house. I knew I was going there for sex, and I knew it was risky and I took the risk.
We had a great time and found ourselves texting more and more and getting together more often. A few months in he quit his healthcare job and decided to take a road trip. I spent 10 days with him on that trip and knew I was in love with him. It was literally the best 10 days of my life. I expected fully for him to break my heart. Instead he completely surprised me by falling in love with me too. He came back from his trip and with a whole 4 months of dating under our belts we decided to move halfway across the country and start a business. We moved 6 weeks ago and I love it. I love him. And had lockdown not happened I really doubt we would be here. We would have both had more partners and it would not have developed the way it did.
