Tess was back in NYC after a breakup, and she needed to make friends. Not particularly a sporty type, she found herself in a bowling league. The bowling league led to a new friend, and the new friend convinced her to join dodgeball... an activity that summoned grade school trauma. She gave it a go anyway.
The dodgeball group was a social one, meeting weekly after games at a neighborhood spot for meeting and mingling. It was one of those nights where she broke out her mom's favorite flirting technique: faking a gift for palm reading to hold a cute guy's hand. She approached a stranger with bushy eyebrows, pulled out her party trick, and told him he was going to die broke and alone. He didn't appreciate it, and they parted ways after a shared cigarette.
That same stranger crossed her path again a few weeks later, and her prediction was proved gloriously wrong as the two realized that in the search for friends, they'd found their person.
In this episode, Tess shares the story of her slow-burn romance, overcoming "the ick", and falling in love with her best friend.
