✨Shelby and Henry ✨
Our tale begins in 2015. Henry had just returned to Swinburne University after a refreshing summer break in his hometown of Hamilton. On the fateful night that would change the trajectory of both their lives, Henry, despite his exhaustion, found himself persuaded (or rather, physically dragged) by friends to join a gathering. This gathering would lead to the dance floor of Lucky Coq on Chapel Street. 🕺🏻🍻
Enter Shelby. As Henry would recall, she was “a very tall, very pretty, very blonde, blue-eyed girl.” Shelby, having just wrapped up her shift at Hooked fish and chips on Glenferrie Road, had also reluctantly decided to join the party. That night, as their paths crossed amidst dancing and music, destiny was set into motion. 🪩 💫
While they danced in a group on the sticky dancefloor, Henry fondly remembers how he couldn’t help but remind Shelby, with every gap in the music, how good she looked. While Shelby remembers thinking “Wow, this guy really likes hair gel!” His hair was sky-high! Shelby found Henry’s approach both dorky and endearing and admired his genuine interest in getting to know her. 💃🏽❤️🕺🏻
Their playful banter evolved into shared drinks, and by the end of the night, they were discussing their preferred coffees, setting the stage for their first date the very next day. ☕️ 🥰
