John and I first met at William. T. Young library at the University of Kentucky. I had hired him as a tutor for one of my classes -Genetics. Hold your horses, folks! It's not as steamy as it sounds. We developed a friendship during our tutoring sessions and maintained it for about a year. The romance started to bud only after we shared our first meal at a local Indian restaurant. I guess, our stars were perfectly aligned that night. John handled the flavors and spices like a champ and that's pretty much when we thought, '' Okay. This could be something. ''
