Though neither of them knew it at the time, this love story began in the Autumn of 2023.  Meredith had just begun her new career working with Pre-K and Francisco was working at the Jack in the Box down the street.  Over the next year and a half Meredith would visit that Jack drive thru at least once a week and, more often than not, see Francisco smiling at her through the drive thru window. ​In May 2025 they each decided that they were ready to begin dating again and both created profiles on a Christian dating app. Though Meredith set her preferences on the app in a way that excluded Francisco, God had other plans... When Francisco saw Meredith on the app he was stunned. It was her! He thought she was married and now knew that she was very NOT married! Oh happy day!  Several days later Meredith and her kids finally showed up in the drive thru.  When Francisco mentioned that he saw her on the app their eyes locked on each other and the whole world was washed away. Kids were talking and co-workers were trying to hand things off but the two were locked in a gaze that was full of promise and knowing. They knew - they each knew in that powerful "Dream Weaver" moment that this was a love story.
