Ben said it, creepily, from directly behind Arienne's right ear, making her jump as she crossed a street after work let out. Ben brags that it was his most successful pickup line. Arienne brags that she then dragged Ben into a verrrrry lengthy horoscope reading on a park bench. It was deep summer in DC. They talked for three more hours, got tacos, and made plans to meet for a movie, despite everything else. That's the simplest way to begin our story, although it was not the beginning at all, and there are so many other ways to tell it. Maybe you have heard this version, or maybe you've heard a very different version. The important bit is that Arienne does, in fact, like to party, and we are excited to finally throw a proper one for our very best people! We hope you will join us!
