#1: What Are the Chances?
Sometimes, reality is harder to write than fiction. I think the most amazing thing is not the coincidence itself but the amount of time that it was left undiscovered. It’s hard to imagine having been together with someone for seventeen years and suddenly finding out you’d initially met as a young child.
My only issue here is the expressions on their faces in the initial photo – she looks utterly distressed while he wears a somewhat conspiratorial grin. Maybe the coincidence is not as innocent as she believed, but rather the consequences of a sneaky five-year-old’s plot to marry the two-year-old beside him.
