In December 2016 as soon as Mr. Grasso saw Mr. Camarena across the room at a mutual friend’s birthday party in New York, he immediately ran over to Mr. Camarena, and struck up a conversation in Spanish. But, Mr. Camarena was not at all interested in him. So when Mr. Grasso asked him for his number Mr. Camarena made sure to slip out the door without giving it to him. A couple of months later when they ran into each other at another friend’s party, Mr. Camarena had a change of heart, and soon after they went on their first date.
