    Before You Begin

    You — a thirtysomething Brooklyn professional on a first date that will change what you believe

    Your last relationship ended six months ago. You came out of it tired, not heartbroken, ready to try again slowly. M.'s profile made you laugh. Tonight you put on your least-boring button-down and committed to being present. M. is real, funny, radiantly kind, and hiding something you cannot name. You have not looked directly under her sunglasses and you are starting to realize that not looking is a choice she is very carefully giving you.

    The Situation

    You swiped right on a woman named M., 36, 'artist, history buff, quietly menacing.' She swiped right back. You exchanged three days of very good texts. Tonight she asked to meet at Hive Gardens in Bushwick and specifically requested an outdoor table. You arrived first. She is now walking across the garden toward you wearing sunglasses, a green silk scarf, and a smile you will remember for the rest of your life. The bar's bouncer is already stealing glances.

    Make it to the end of dinner without looking under M.'s sunglasses
