Honest singleton shares live updates of the moment she met her soulmate at the airport – and people can’t get enough
AN HONEST singleton has captured the attention of thousands after posting about her real-life rom-com moment online.
Emily Forney took to Twitter to share what happened when she spotted a handsome man waiting to board her flight.
The literary agent went on to share minute-by-minute updates as the pair began talking – and even exchanged numbers.
Now thousands are begging her for updates – or for her to turn their rom-com moment into a fiction novel.
Starting a new thread, Emily, known online as @EmilyKaitlinnn, wrote: “I’m at the airport going to LA and the most gorgeous man I’ve ever seen just sat down on the floor next to me and not only has two books in his bag but he’s eating a whole ass steak burrito at 9 am.
“Y’all I think I found my soulmate.”
Twitter fans loved her honesty, with the initial post gaining more than 78,400 likes and 4,700 views.
For those keen to know more, she shared another update, adding: “Ok update: I just slide over closer to him because someone dropped their bag right next to me and he moved his stuff so I could move over more toward him.
“Omg, I’m shaking and sweating. Thank god I actually wore something cute today instead of the sweatpants I had been in for days.”
Tweeting again three minutes later, she added: “He just looked at me and smiled and said ‘this is taking so long but at least we have a place to sit’. AND ALL I SAID WAS ‘yeah’.”
Later, she shared another post that read: “He just answered a phone call and is talking about his work and I THINK HE BUILDS HOUSES?!?! This is it. This is my rom-com moment.
“The literary agent and the contractor. He’ll build me a beach house I can read my manuscripts in. Wow. I keep staring at him and I’m sweating help.”
Later, the Twitter fan revealed the pair didn’t end up sitting next to one another on the plane.
However, the mysterious man took matters into his own hands, asking the air host to take Emily a napkin with his number on it.
In her penultimate post, Emily said: “He now also has my number and we will be in the same city for the next week so we will see what happens if I don’t pass away from this all first.”
This update gained more than 13,700 likes and 805,000 views in just 48 hours.
In the comments, strangers shared their reactions to the tale, with one writing: ”Hoping that it starts to rain while you gaze into each other’s eyes as a sign from the Rom-Com Gods that it was meant to be!”
Another said: “I’m so excited for you! I hope this turns out to be the story you tell your kids and grandkids. Sometimes that instant connection really does happen. My grandparents were married for almost 60 years after feeling it when they met at a party.”
A third added: “We need a tv show in this.”
Someone else put: ”What is happening…for some reason I gotta know…(also the wife and I love Hallmark movies soo this is awesome).”
“Along with the rest of Twitter I must know how this story ends and if it’s not you two riding in a plane into the sunset together I will cry,” shared another.
