Fifteen years ago I went to a New Year’s Eve party where I reconnected with AMKT. Of course, she was AMK that night. We talked all night, then rang in the new year, then talked all morning. The next day we had breakfast together. A week later we went out on a date. Eight months later we got married.

Fifteen years later AMKT and I spent New Year’s Eve at IKEA buying cabinets for the kids’ playroom.
