She landed at JFK with no address and a lot of hope.

Elle thought she was flying to New York for a girls weekend. Then her friend’s flight got canceled.

Instead of backing out, Elle came anyway, landed at JFK before sunrise, and headed to a SoHo apartment to meet a guy she barely knew. What followed was a weekend that felt equal parts movie-magic and real-life risk: a handshake at the door, coffee in SoHo, a Fashion Week-adjacent night out, and a final dinner at Peak that made everything shift.

In this episode, Elle shares how one impulsive yes turned into a slow-burn love story, why she hesitated when Matt asked her to be his girlfriend, and how New York helped rewrite what she thought her life could look like.

Because sometimes the plan falls apart and that is the whole point.
