Chapter 1: Chance Encounter
How we met, I’ll never forget. How we were happy before we met, I can’t even remember it. Our story begins by a chance encounter, serendipity if you will. A young lady with the most enchanting green eyes was seeking assistance in removing the amber diffusers from her front headlights.
