They had connected almost immediately. The conversation was always so relaxed and comfortable and it seemed to flow so smoothly, like a river running down a steady slope. Nothing ever got in the way. If a rock appeared, the river simply diverted and flowed around it to merge again on the other side as if nothing had happened. They had both said multiple times that it was almost like magic that they had found each other at all. They talked and shared and flirted with each other as if they had known each other for years instead of only a few weeks. And, although it seemed perfect, there was that little problem of living in different time zones. She was always ahead and he was always behind. She was going to bed while he was getting up.

Not to mention, Fate could be a cruel wench. _____________________________ After weeks of talking and building their connection and realizing that they would be incredible together if only they could get past the fact that they were always going to be twelve hours apart. Even if they were in the same room, she would always be there ahead of him and have to leave before he could catch up. So close and as far apart as ever. Always together and always out of sync, until... one day. _____________________________ It was one of those wonderful moments where she had woken up in the middle of her night and he was just getting home from work. She reached out and he was able to respond. They talked and teased and shared and were in the process of making each other's day incredibly special, as they wanted to do. For the millionth time, he lamented how amazing it would be to be there, with her. To crawl into bed next to her. To snuggle into her and feel her body respond to him.
