STORY
I was perfectly happy with my life before Eric. Or so I thought. We met through a mutual friend at a coffee shop. He was wearing this terribly oversized denim jacket and talking way too passionately about the logistics of fermentation. Totally not my type.
What got me was his laugh. It's this deep, full-bodied thing: completely unguarded. And the way he listens, leaning in slightly, like you're the only person in the universe. Slowly, without me noticing, he moved from being "Denim Jacket Guy" to the person I looked for first in every room.
Now, life isn't just better; it’s finally bright. It turns out, my life was in black and white before he came along and started painting everything gold. He's the perfect mix of high-energy chaos and calm presence. He still wears that denim jacket, and I still don't understand fermentation, but I’d trade every quiet Sunday morning for the sound of that unguarded laugh.
The Quirk: The man sings to the coffee pot every morning. Not well. But with such conviction, I’m convinced the coffee tastes better because of it.

I’m a guy who runs hot. I plan everything out, I move fast, and I rarely slow down. That’s just my default setting. Then Brittany walked in. We met through a friend, and she had this quiet way of observing the room that completely stopped me. I remember thinking, "This is the first person who doesn't seem impressed by my chaos."
What happened next wasn't a whirlwind; it was more like a sunrise. It started with long conversations over takeout where she’d challenge my quick opinions, and it grew into this steady, undeniable connection. Falling in love with her felt like finally finding the volume control for my own life. She’s the calm centre I never knew I was missing.
She makes me better by simply being exactly who she is. I used to chase achievements; now, I just chase five more minutes with her on a Tuesday night. That’s the real win. Every time I look over, she’s there, reading or working, totally absorbed, and I just think, "Man, I really pulled this off."
The Moment I Knew: Early on, we were sitting in my tiny apartment, and she was helping me build a truly complicated bookshelf (the kind with a hundred pieces). She paused, looked at the instructions, and said, "This is dumb. Let's just do it our way." We tossed the manual, finished it in 20 minutes, and it was perfect. That’s our entire relationship: she looks at the rigid, complicated plan, tells me to toss it, and together, we build something stronger and completely our own.
