We first caught sight of one another outside his cycling team's bike shop. Kris was coming in from a ride, and our mutual friend, one of his teammates--my teaching partner, and I were just leaving. "I'd introduce you to Kris, but I'm pretty sure he has a girlfriend," said our mutual friend. "That's too bad," I replied as we drove away, "He has pretty blue eyes." Less than two weeks later we came across one another through an online dating site. Instant adventure buddies!
