On that first party... they decided to meet at Rockefeller Centre, next to the huge Christmas Tree.

Walking... on their way to the Party Place.

Upon arriving at the party venue, they take off their coats and... the first thing she does is tie her hair back in a ponytail with a beautiful flower scrunchie that matches her dress. This way, she will be more comfortable for dancing. Then, he offers her some champagne...

Soon they start to dance...

Look at them!

They both enjoy dancing...

How about some rest?...

And then... some light romantic music...

Dancing cheek to cheek! They get close... very close...

After leaving her at home, saying goodbye and agreeing to meet another day...

When Keiko closes the door behind her, she suddenly remembers that she has his tie in her bag... Too late, he's gone!

She can't help caressing the tie, she smells it...

it has his perfume. She rubs it against her cheek... She imagines his lips on hers...

She is falling in love.

Not exactly like in the novel 😁...

And that day near Christmas, when she was preparing dinner for herself, the TV was on...

She looks at the weatherman and... Surprise!

HAPPY SEASON...

AND ALL THE BEST FOR THE NEW YEAR!

Here they are... When he invited her to the New Year's Eve Party...

They look so smart!

As they enter...

Dancing

Taking a rest and a drink, at their table...

Dancing continues...

Slow romantic dancing...

In love...

When he invited her to watch the All Blacks Match at his place...

A very casual afternoon...

Cheering on the couch!

After having pizza... now popcorn, beer, etc... 

They had some fun!

And now... St. Valentine's!

When he picked her up it was snowing...

When they arrived at the Restaurant...

Their table at the restaurant, beautifully decorated, next to a window with amazing views...

Already seated...

 

Placing their napkins on their lap...

As soon as they are served, he happily proposes a toast...

For starters... Hot chowder...

Second Course...

And Dessert...

"Lovers' hearts"

And a toast to Love itself!

Soon after dinner, and as the music begun, they brought some chocolates and sweets to the tables.

And, of course... it was time to dance...

Several moments during their dance... disconnected from the world...

Total happiness,... pure bliss!

Then, they go to Keiko's place... Where, unexpectedly, they have another drink...

or two, and...

This is heating up!...

Finally... They had their magical moment!

Their love... is perfection!

The icing on the cake!

And so to sleep...

Meanwhile, summertime arrived...

They had plentiful moments of joy!

They went out after work, frequently...

And a kiss goodbye... at her door.

They didn't always end up in bed! 😁 They usually had to get up early for work the next morning!

And now... You are all invited to their Wedding...

Oops, sorry, I meant Weddings! Two.

Let's go then...
