He had that magnetic energy\u2014always the one bringing cupcakes to the office,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">remembering your birthday, making everyone laugh with that booming, infectious chuckle. Falling in love with him was effortless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Being loved by him, in the beginning, felt like a dream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He\u2019d show up with my favorite flowers \u201cjust because.\u201d Slip sweet notes into my work bag.
