I met my husband when we were in the middle of a heatwave.
My air conditioning had quit working and I had to have an HVAC technician come to the house.
I couldn’t believe how much they quoted me to come out so quickly. I was willing to go without air conditioning for two days, so I could save money. I was talking to my neighbor and she said that her son worked in HVAC and she would see if he had any time, if I was interested. I didn’t believe he was going to help out a stranger, so I told the HVAC company I would just wait. That afternoon, I had a knock on my door, and my neighbor stood there with the most handsome man I had ever seen. She told me it was her son and he had the afternoon off, so he would work on my AC unit. It embarrassed me when he saw me staring at him, but he didn’t say anything. He asked me if it was okay if he went out back? I told him exactly where the AC unit was. When I turned to say thank you to my neighbor, she was already gone. I hadn’t even heard her closing the door behind her. After going into the kitchen, I called the HVAC company and cancelled my service call. I grabbed a couple glasses of iced tea and walked out back, handing one to my new HVAC tech. After finishing with my AC unit, he sat at the picnic table to drink. The next thing I knew, I was agreeing to go out to dinner with him. During the next heatwave, he asked me to marry him?
