Of all the luxurious places lovers first lay eyes on one another, Gabriel and Alyssa met in, of all places... the workplace. There was no lust or passion for one another at the start, as both Gabriel and Alyssa were seeing other people. But what did start to blossom was a unique friendship, one built on trust, laughter and the occasional whimsical thought of, what if? Time passed, old flames died out, but what stayed constant was a slow and intensifying bond between the two. Eventually, they decided to test the waters of a possible romantic endeavor while steadfast in that if it faded, the two would still remain friends. So, the overly impulsive, extremely eccentric, and all too over the top, Gabriel, and the meticulous planner, wholesomely thoughtful and delightfully pleasant, Alyssa, set off on their journey not knowing where it would take them. Since then, laughter has been had, tears have been shed, and a love has emerged so strong between the two, that now their past can only be looked at as a predetermined fate. Two things from this love story are true. One, opposites do attract and two, that a relationship built on laughter, trust and dependability can be the pillars of a remarkably true love story between two people. Gabriel and Alyssa are living proof of this.
