She literally bowled me over the day we met. But then I wasn’t her type so I changed myself to match her expectations. I gave up drinking and smoking and joined a gym to get back in shape. Now that I’m finally reaching her expectations, I realise that she wasn’t even expecting me to be the guy that I’ve become today. Turns out her parents have already fixed a match for her. She tells me once it is all fixed, she will quit as the guy is working in Muscat.
