He was on the ladder painting the interiors of the baby’s nursery when He suddenly felt very nostalgic. It seemed like yesterday that He had bumped into her at the local supermarket and instantly connected with her. She was beautiful, radiant, and adorable. She had made an instant impression on him. They met a few times in the neighborhood before He cooked up the courage to ask her out on a date. She found it adorable how He was so shy around her. They went out for about 3 years before He finally popped the question. She walked in to the room with the adorable pregnancy glow, while rubbing her belly and said, “Awww babe, I love how the nursery is turning out finally. I can’t wait for this little one to see it”… ________________________________________________ She had always been told that walking below a ladder brings bad luck, but it was the absolute opposite in her case. She was on her regular grocery run that evening when She crossed an open ladder that a maintenance worker had left open. The maintenance guy had accidentally splashed some paint on her. He was the manager for that particular site and He rushed to help wipe it off her coat. She was frustrated, but eventually She calmed down. He sat her down on a bench and they began talking. She was not one to open up to just anyone but somehow He had a calming effect on her. He had beautiful eyes and a genuine smile. As She was about to leave to get home, He said, “I would like to make it up to you on behalf of my crewmen. I could take your coat to the drycleaners and you take mine. We could meet to return our coats and maybe have a cup of coffee”… _____________________________________________________________ He had caught her just in the nick of time, when He was on his morning coffee run. She had been up on a ladder putting up a banner on her boutique when He caught her from falling on the sidewalk. They looked in to one another’s eyes for a few seconds. She finally gathered herself and stood straight. She looked up at the banner to contain her nervousness. She grunted that the banner was not straight, and He offered to help get it right. Eventually, when He got it right, She offered him a cup of coffee. They walked in to the store and He was spell bound at its interiors, and ambience. He expressed his appreciation and She smiled. They began talking, and eventually realized their chemistry. That was almost 25 years ago, He thought to himself as He looked over his desk and saw her beautiful radiant smile, and smiled. He knew that even though He had saved her from falling that day, it was her who given him a new life that day… _____________________________________________________________
