We met at a wedding (thank you, Sammy and Zelda) in the fall of 2022 and bonded by venting about the state of American politics. As democracy crumbled, our love grew. We learned from each other — Becca taught Charlie to sharpen knives and tolerate New England, Charlie taught Becca to play tennis and tolerate California — and, together with our sweet Frances, grew into a family. Now, after winters in Boston and Los Angeles, summers in Maine, and fall trips to everywhere from Cleveland to Sardinia, we’re ready for our next adventure.
