If you ask Emily...
Steven & Emily met at work. Emily took quickly to pining for his attention, and Steven took even quicker to ignoring her. After months of professional, somewhat friendly interaction, Steven invited Emily to a Halloween party. When he asked her there, "what are you looking for?" she explained she wanted to find her life partner and have a family. Steven responded "okay cool." The rest is history.
If you ask Steven...
Emily was the new girl at work, and she was enthralling. I was drawn to her right away, but I didn't date coworkers. I tried, probably a little too hard at first, to be friendly but not too friendly. That wasn't too hard either initially, I'm bad with names, and she was so cute. I was too embarrassed to ask her again. Then I came to work for the first time without a mask, it was probably about a month or so into her being there, and as she passed by she said, "You do have a nose"! We haven't not talked with each other ever since.
