After a few flirty exchanges by the coffee machine at work, we found out we'd both be attending the same team happy hour. We played a few rounds of beer pong... the winner of which is still up for debate. It was loud and crowded but we spent the whole night locked in our own laughter. Noticing the peering eyes of coworkers, we decided to sneak away, neither of us wanting the night to end. It was a rainy Friday night in Manhattan and we just started running down the street until we found a quiet wine bar. By candlelight, we sunk into a dark, plush sofa until the early hours of the morning and learned about each other's family, our favorite foods and biggest fears, and the fact we grew up in the same town in New Jersey. Like star-crossed lovers. "Sometimes it's all you can do; wait, endure and keep shining, knowing that eventually, your light will reach where it is supposed to reach and shine for who it is supposed to shine for." -Tyler Knott Gregson-
