Seated at the same table entirely by accident, and neither of us moved for the rest of the night.

Dinner that was meant to take an hour and somehow ran until the restaurant turned the lights on.

A small apartment with terrible light, a very good kitchen, and just enough room for both our books.

Asked at home on an ordinary Tuesday, with no ring, no speech and no hesitation whatsoever.

And now the part where all of you are invited.
