He likes champagne, she likes beer. He likes expensive restaurants, she likes chinese take out. His home is covered in black and white furnishings, she lives in technicolor and wears a 30 year old blazer. Yes, as you can gather, sometimes (isn't it more times than not?) opposites attract.
But of course, we are never perfectly capatable with one another; somebody always has some thing, some habit, some favorite shirt that simply does not "mesh" well with ourselves. This isn't, necessarily, a big deal-it's just the way things are. So how could this story be any different from those told time and time again? Mmmm, only skeptics would inquire... Listen closely, however, and you'll see!
For Nick and Tess, it wasn't obvious, at least not initially, how different they were. One flag football game and a snapshot in time later and the rest was history... But when their differences soon forced them a part, it isn't until months later when a second chance-albeit, a contrived reunion-at making whatever it is that they are work, where their differences take a back seat to every reason staring them straight in their faces why they are a perfectly disfunctional match made in heaven.
Oh, but lets not be fooled. If you are familiar with the ways of Jennifer Cruise, you'd know that their relationship plays out throughout a seemingly constant backdrop of drama, possible plagiarism, mistaken and/or unknown identities, and a multitude of opportunities for both Nick and Tess to run screaming into the dark, "NOPE, this ain't gonna work!" I tell you now, this is one of her better ones. Aren't the originals always?
Side note: Have I confessed to you my slight (okay, who am I playing--full grown) obsession with Jennifer Cruise? I warn you now, I sing her praises frequently and often times without warrant! If your curious to find out why, I think you know what to do...
Happy reading,
Lauren
