The moment I knew: I’d lost his number and was about to switch off my old phone for good
When Karen Bleakley locked eyes with Matt on the dancefloor, it was a sign of a new beginning. But when she lost her number, she thought she’d never see him again
TL;DR
- Karen met Matt in a Portsmouth nightclub in 2002 and felt an immediate connection.
- She lost his phone number before she could contact him, believing she would never see him again.
- Months later, while setting up a new phone, she received a text from Matt just before deleting her old contacts.
- They began a long-distance relationship, which eventually led to Karen moving south to be with him.
- Twenty-four years later, they are married with three children and live in Australia.
