The Way We Met
Tanesha and Andrew met in January 2021 on a warm Friday night in Scarborough. Andrew was supposed to be in isolation having just returned from interstate, and Tanesha, who rarely went out after work, couldn't say no to a bottle of Chardy in the sun. That night, he stayed for one last drink. She said “okay” to one last bar. Just like that, their story began. Most weekends were spent together. Tanesha was drawn to Andrew’s tenacity, while Andrew -well, he's only human - was instantly captivated by Tanesha's eyes and smile. Weeks turned into months, months into years. Whether it was Phil Brayne’s prayers or Jacque Clayton’s voodoo, something worked. In April 2024, Andrew sealed the deal.
