Yvonne, the Love of my Life

Of all the letters we have written on this summer Y is the easiest for me. Y is for Yvonne my bride of thirty-nine years. Although we worked together we started dating by a quirk of fortune. I had just started working at the company where she worked and I didn't even know her name. I purchased two ticked to a show and the day we were to go my date canceled on me, leaving me with two tickets and no one to ask on such short notice.
At work I went on a coffee break and just happened to sit at the same table as Yvonne and two or three other people. Almost as soon as I sat down the other people got up to leave as their break was over, leaving Yvonne and I alone. We introduced ourselves and as we talked I noticed we laughed a lot and without realizing it we both over extended our coffee break. As we rushed to get back to work before we got into trouble I asked her if she would go out with me. When she asked me when I just said tonight. She said OK and we have been together ever since.
