Eric and Rachel both worked at the Shock Trauma Center at the University of Maryland Medical Center. Though they were colleagues—Eric as a respiratory therapist and Rachel as a nurse—it wasn't until one fateful night in 2019 that their lives took a turn for the dramatic. It all started with Rachel calling Eric on a late-night shift to remove some respiratory equipment from a patient. Eric, being the seasoned professional that he was, thought it was a bit *much* to disturb him at such an ungodly hour for something so minor. After some back-and-forth (and maybe a little passive-aggressive sighing), Eric reluctantly agreed to make the trek. He showed up, removed the ventilator, and after about 0.2 seconds of awkward silence, Eric decided this was the perfect moment to take a *huge* leap of faith. He asked Rachel out on a date, likely hoping she wouldn't need a defibrillator to bring her back to life after that bold move. And, somehow, it worked! And that, folks, is how a late-night equipment request led to a lifelong partnership—proof that sometimes, the best relationships start with the most *questionable* timing.
