Those who say "Don't mix business with pleasure" have never fallen in love with a coworker before. It started with Nate making Kelsey laugh during lunch. Then Kelsey found herself keeping Nate company when he had to stay late in the lab. Their natural chemistry built for a year and led to one fateful night where they sang backstreet boys at the bar and kissed in the taxi going home.
Kelsey knew the ring was in the luggage. Nate was waiting for the perfect opportunity. On the last night in Paris, in PJs and with takeout food, they reminisced on their trip so far and their 3 year anniversary just days prior. What a wonderful, fufilling, and loving three years it had been. It was the perfect time to ask. Nate got down on one knee, Kelsey cried (so did Nate). They celebrated in London the next day.
