Well prepare yourself, because that might not be the only reunion story this week.

Over the weekend, writer Bolu Babalola tweeted the following, heartfelt request:

At the time of writing, that tweet has been shared around 13,000 times. True to form, the good people of Twitter were quick to offer their assistance:

Still, every heart-warming story has its downsides. Shockingly, there were some people in this case who had the audacity to question whether or not the image was genuine.

Despite the naysayers, though, it looks like the story may in fact have a happy ending. In the early hours of Monday morning, Babalola shared the following updated:

Mashable reached out to Babalola to ask what she’d say to the mystery man if Twitter does manage to connect them, to which she sent the following response:

“What is there to say? Thanks for the great time this summer, shall we pick up where we left off?”

Not  an entirely unexpected response. Still, she may have to wait a while. Judging by the number of similar requests that have popped up over the past 24 hours, it looks like Twitter may be pretty busy for a while…

Good luck with your searches, everyone.
