Shane had seen Adriana around - on Wilder Bowl, at the Feve, at parties. Adriana, meanwhile, did not know Shane existed.

But Shane was undeterred!

After a series of failed attempts at catching her eye, he did something that, dear reader, is sure to surprise: he danced with her (or at least tried to). As Adriana tells it, she looked at Shane nervously approximating rhythm, and decided that, while the boy can’t dance, the face is cute enough - he’ll do.

Since then, they’ve moved to and from California, and bought their first home in Philadelphia. They’ve added to their little family (good girl, Almond), and pursued careers they chose and value. And they’ve explored the Virgin Islands, the Pacific coast, Mexico City, and each other.

They have grown tall and strong because they share the same roots. They are sheltered from the storm because they share the same roof. And because they do, they share the same love: deep, mindful, joyful.
