We worked in the same building on the same floor in the same office. We shared the occasional "hello" or "good morning". He was really quite and kept to himself, while Carmen would say talk to anyone and everyone. She would causally walk by my desk and look at my pictures when I had left for the day, little did she know I would do the same. After a couple years of barely talking I got enough courage to ask her out for a drink. Our first date was enough to convince me to do everything in my power to keep this girl in my life. A second date followed almost immediately, then a third, fourth and so on. Soon enough I asked her to be my girlfriend and our adventure continued.
