Jay first contacted me after Jade a mutual friend had suggested we should meet. He was polite, almost seemed a little boring and very much to the point. We had barely exchanged 5 messages when he wrote:
>So Jade tells me you like to spend time in isolation as well as serve?
I’m not exactly prude, but given we both knew that we’d probably meet in real life, it was a bit more direct than I really hoped for. I usually liked to get to know my counterpart on a bit of a personal level first.
I put the chat on the back burner for a few days, but when the weekend arrived and I had some spare time, I decided to start a longer chat. After an hour of discussing our ideas, we decided to have a video call.
Jay had a friendly face, gentle mannerism and seemed to always smile in an endearing way. His blonde hair was neatly trimmed and structured in place with gel. His face was narrow as were his lips and his eyes never looked away from the screen when he was facing it.
