Georgia LoveHostWe've all heard the saying, "Love finds you when you least expect it." Well, for 27-year-old Scarlett, a TV presenter living in Brisbane, that couldn't have been more true because on one completely unassuming evening, an unlikely wing woman stepped in and set everything in motion.
It was one of those nights where I had got my pajamas on, ordered takeaway, I was in front of the TV.
And then it was actually a message from my mom, who was in town, she was a flight attendant, and said, "Come and meet me." And so I said, "Okay, Mom, I will." And so that set me on being out that night, and later on into the night I met a friend at a pub after a rugby match who introduced me to Jake.
We were talking, we were kissing, and I remember at the end of that night, I'd only met him five hours before, but prying myself away from him to go to my apartment seemed impossible.
And from there, it was full steam ahead.
Not every single day, but before long we were seeing each other every single night.
He was staying at my place, and we were pretty soon talking about marriage and kids and, and all of those things that set up a future.
A couple of weeks later it became more official, but it was one of those experiences, in the past you're sort of seeing someone, you go, "Oh, is it a situationship? Are they seeing other people? Are we actually a thing?" But the connection was so strong from the start, it was like it would've even been offensive to suggest to the other person that we were doing anything outside of each other.
He was very [laughs] dark hair, very handsome, very charismatic, physically my type, and he just seemed to have such an interesting view on the world, and I feel like I was, like, learning so much with him.
And we were in this absolute love bubble, like nothing else seemed to be a problem.
We were just together, and he told me he was a doctor, but that was the least interesting thing about him.
[gentle music] We would spend so long just walking by the river, getting food, drinking wine.
