What in the world would both of us be doing in this town on that date? Ironically enough we were both at our company's training facility, and assigned to the same table. Whitney arrived early, of course, and when I arrived and sat down I was immediately awestruck and had to step away to splash cold water on my face and collect myself. Over the next few months we casually flirted with each other until it was clear there was mutual interest. I remained focused on keeping Whitney's attention and even moved to Chicago to be closer to her. We became closer friends day by day, and after a Valentine's Day trip to DC in 2015 we were officially a couple.
