Once Upon a Time

"Paige, what do you think of Cam?" "Cam? The salad guy? Isn't he like 12." "No, I'm pretty sure he's our age." "Oh. Well he looks 12." "Cam, what do you think of Paige?" "Paige? The hostess? She seems kind of mean.” "Maybe she likes you." "No. I think she's just mean."

As we got to know each other, we learned about differences that were actually quite compatible: Cam loves Lord of the Rings. Paige loves all books...but technically couldn’t get through The Fellowship. Cam likes dressing up as fantasy characters. It’s called larping. Paige prefers reading fantasy. Cam enjoys cooking. Paige demands to be fed...but is always willing to make dessert. Cam said they could get a dog in three years. Paige refused to wait that long (and Cam is secretly thrilled about it). They now have 2 pups and Paige is slowly convincing Cam they should adopt every rescue out there.
