In the summer of 2017, a raffle to select a new officemate aligned our paths. For the next year and half our office was filled with laughter, deep conversations, and unconditional support. Our office became a respite from the outside world and nurtured our blossoming friendship. Then the inevitable happened, we got our own offices. Yet, over the next two years, and several office moves later, our friendship blossomed into the love we were both seeking. Two years and a whole pandemic later, we are embarking on a new journey together, which will begin when we say “I do”.
