From delivery to romance
Nikeisha, who was working two jobs—one as a cleaner and the other at a Chinese restaurant—often ordered late-night takeaways.
Dimitrios was her regular delivery driver, and their friendly exchanges gradually grew into something deeper.
“I used to ask him to call me when he arrived because it was late and I had younger siblings,” Nikeisha explained. “We kept bumping into each other in the street, and one day, I saw him waiting outside a local shop.”
On that day, Nikeisha was unwell and in her pajamas when Dimitrios suggested she try lemon tea to feel better.
