Harry wanted to move to the coast.
I’d lived in a cooler climate all my life, so this was going to be a huge change for me. Harry and I met through a mutual friend who said she was tired of hearing how no more good people were left to date. She set us up on a blind date a few years ago, and I remember almost calling to cancel. My boyfriend at the time had broken up with me, and I was miserable. Going on a date was the last thing I wanted to do, but it turned out okay. We ended up bonding and started hanging out alot. Then we dated and got engaged. Harry got offered a chance to join a startup company and pleaded with me to move with him. I did remote work, so my worry wasn’t about work. Eventually, I agreed, and we bought a wonderful house about 5 minutes from the beach where I planned to spend a lot of time. The startup was such a great opportunity, and Harry was thriving there. The house we bought was lovely, but I had an issue with too much sunlight. I needed to get someone to help me install window films. The window films would reduce the sun glare and also keep the house cool. I chose to even have some decorative window films in some areas like the bathrooms. Harry got contacts to a local company that did window films installation and gave them a call to get a quote. I liked that the sun control window films would keep the house cool, so we didn’t have to over-rely on the AC.
