Hello and welcome back to Cult Leader. I'm your Cult Leader, Spencer Henry, and today I am coming to you from Oakland, California.

In the end of last week's episode, I told you guys today's story would be different, and I can't really tell you what I meant until the end of this episode.

But I can tell you it's different than even I thought, because today I'm joined by my older sister Olivia.

Yay, hi.

Hi. Her husband had to go to London for work for the weeks I'm here keeping her company. You called me one, I don't know.

A few days ago and I said you're gonna come babysit me.

So I'm here to babysit her. She can't be in the house alone.

But today's story is suspenseful. You and I both share a love for lifetime movies. So when you were like asking me to come up this week, I was like, okay, this is perfect because this is exactly the type of story I'd want to tell you.

I'm so excited.

I hope you're excited. And also, I know I've had to reassure her several times before recording this that it's not too scary for her.

You guys have heard me talk about her before and I tell you all the time which episodes you can listen to and which ones you cannot listen to.

Are you ready?

I think so.

Are you excited?

I'm very excited and nervous.

And nervous.

It's okay to be nervous.

Okay, so we're taking it back to August of 2013 when 26 year old Michelle Hadley met US Marshall Ian Diaz and things between the two quickly progressed after their first coffee date.

It seemed like love at first sight which we know how that goes. We've had our fair share of coffee dates.

Me and Olivia, okay, do you remember? No, I want to tell them. When we were both, I don't even know how old.

We both got out of long relationships and we started online dating and it was before apps and everything.
