“I thought it was quite cheeky to just ask Word Dot out on a date,” Fiona added.
‘She told me later, “I just want you to know I wasn’t a fan of yours or anything like that.”
After messaging each other for several months, they finally met in person in October 2018 and knew things were getting serious.
“We were literally inseparable all summer and spent every moment together. I started thinking, “You know what? I want this for the rest of my life,” Hayley added.
