After that night I started to see Shannon more frequently. She traveled a lot for work, and even when in town she worked later into most evenings, but she found some times she could see me. I was always grateful for the chance, even when she texted me late and suddenly suggested we meet up after she finished a late night at work. Often Shannon would seem distracted, like she had a lot on her mind, but I would work hard to distract her from work and we'd end up having a great time. It was so exciting every time I got her in bed. She seemed to appreciate that...
