After nearly 6 months of working together, Roxanna’s number finally made its way to Christopher’s phone. When she accepted his offer for a cup of coffee he astutely asked Roxanna to text him her order. She found it endearing so she proceeded. Of course he kept the number and began with the “Good Morning” texts. He also began inviting her out to dinner every week. She politely declined each time. After two more months, she finally agreed to hang out with him. She invited him to Vanessa’s birthday party because she preferred a group setting. After a night full of dancing and laughter, Roxanna realized she might have found herself a summer fling. This summer fling has now lasted them for nearly 8 amazing years. There is no doubt that persistence is key. Christopher knew in his heart that they belonged together and Roxanna is grateful he never gave up on her.
