I met Robert at a company holiday party.
“Only if you’re trained in tree surgery.”
He rescued my purse, knocking over three ornaments.
“Do you always cause this much damage helping people?”
“Only the ones I like.”
Robert was charming, funny, and excellent at his job. He handled difficult clients without breaking a sweat.
This could get interesting.
“My mother raised me to be a gentleman,” he told me.
“Then I should thank her.”
“You’d love her.”
I thought that was adorable.
I should’ve heard the warning bells.
He handled difficult clients without breaking a sweat.
We always spent weekends at my apartment.
“Why don’t we ever go to yours?” I once asked.
“Trust me, you don’t want to see my laundry mountain.”
“Then clean it.”
“Sarah, you underestimate the mountain.”
I laughed. I thought he was exaggerating.
I should’ve heard the warning bells.

Two years later, Robert proposed.
With two months left before the wedding, we finally decided to move in together.
