We’ve known each other since we were about 15. We lived on the same road in Binbrook [Ont.]. We had a little thing going on but … we were kids. I went to university and moved to Ottawa for 12 years.Megan posted a picture on Facebook saying she was visiting family in Hamilton so I said the next time you come down we should grab a coffee and catch up.Soon after, she messaged me on Instagram and said, “Do you want to check out my place in Ottawa?” I like driving so I went for the weekend.
I got a job at this marketing company where I could work remotely so it didn’t really matter where I lived.HandoutWe took a couple of trips out east. My grandfather lived in PEI so our family had gone there when I was young.We did a 10-day camping trip in his car, this big black Cadillac. Not exactly an east coast kind of car.We found my grandpa’s house. The people invited us in, and even offered us a room. That was our first taste of Maritime hospitality.
