"I first met Paul when I was living in Massachusetts; I'd been touring as a technical producer with a theater show. I'd been living with a friend, and I popped to the local fishery to buy salmon so I could cook us dinner. Paul looked at me across the fish counter with these big, brown, beautiful eyes. He smiled his beautiful smile, and as I heard that Australian accent, I knew I was screwed."
"We set up a phone call for Saturday. It actually lasted 2.5 hours. We set our first in-person date for the following Monday, when we were both available for coffee during the day. That coffee date lasted for 7.5 hours. The only reason it didn't last longer is that he had to go to his shift at the fishmonger's. He was working very hard with two jobs. His other job was overnight at a gas station."
At 45, Kat met Paul at a local fishery while living in Massachusetts during a theater tour. The attraction was instant when she heard his Australian accent and saw his eyes. He lost her business card and later retrieved her number through a mutual friend. Their first phone call lasted 2.5 hours, and their first in-person coffee date lasted 7.5 hours, cut short only by his work shift. Paul worked two jobs, including overnight gas-station shifts, while living on minimum wage. Kat later moved from the USA to Australia to be with him and eventually married him.
