Our eyes met from across the crowded room. Had I known what our future held, I wonder if the moment would have held the same excitement. We were sitting with a group of new hires and going around the room introducing ourselves. It seemed serendipitous when he introduced himself. We were going to be working [...]

I spend a lot of time thinking about past relationships. What went wrong? Or better yet what went right? It would certainly be faster to answer the latter question rather than the former.
