Once upon a time, in the cozy kingdom of AutoFair Subaru, fate had a peculiar sense of humor. May 2019 marked the beginning of a tale filled with love, laughter, and the unexpected union of Erin and Mike.
Mike, a seasoned AutoFair dweller happily ensconced in his own quiet office, was living his best cubicle life. Little did he know, the tranquility of his solitude was about to be disrupted. Enter Erin, the new recruit with an infectious enthusiasm for life. Little did she know, she was about to share her workspace with a man who cherished his peace and quiet like a dragon guards its treasure.

Their office, lovingly dubbed "the closet" for its compact dimensions, became the unlikely setting for this unfolding romance. Picture this: Erin and Mike, like sardines in a can, forced into close quarters that even sardines might find a tad too snug. Romance, you say? Not exactly on the agenda.

As they navigated the daily chaos of staplers, paperclips, and each other's quirks, sparks weren't exactly flying. Mike, being a connoisseur of solitude, found Erin's lunchtime symphony a bit too loud for his taste. Chewing, it turns out, was an unexpected hurdle on the path to office bliss.

However, as the saying goes, love works in mysterious ways, or in this case, closet-sized ways. Despite the initial discord, a bond began to sprout like a stubborn daisy pushing through concrete. Forced proximity has a funny way of breaking down walls, and soon Erin and Mike found themselves not just co-workers but comrades in the battle against office monotony.

Erin, with a penchant for the neurotic, discovered that Mike's quiet confidence was a comforting balm in an environment that could sometimes feel overwhelming. While she battled her own internal storms, Mike's surety in himself served as an anchor. Beneath his tranquil exterior, she unearthed a kind heart and an unselfishness that seemed to come as second nature to him.

In the ebb and flow of life, Erin eventually moved to an office across the street. The physical distance may have increased, but their friendship remained strong. Slowly, each began to realize that perhaps something was missing in their daily lives. No longer were they crammed together as they once were, and Erin found herself bringing Mike up in conversation every chance she got. Mike, after silently battling personal storms, began to realize that he missed the noisy mess of a girl who had become a fixture in his daily routine.

One day, as they each reflected on the void that had quietly settled in, they both realized simultaneously, "I love you." The words hung in the air, a silent acknowledgment of what had quietly blossomed between them. From the confines of the closet to the separation of office buildings, love had weathered the distance, and Erin and Mike were ready for the next chapter in their whimsical love story. Cheers to love that endures and surprises, even when it starts in the unlikeliest of places.
