Our love story

We met the classic way - at the party of a mutual friend. Carmen had only just moved to Zurich, so we had never seen each other before.

Mats made the first move - he was never backwards about coming forwards! We chatted for a while, and got on really well. But after half an hour, Mats decided to go out for cigarettes - and really took his time about it. When he finally reappeared an hour later, we bumped into each other at the door - Mats holding a pack of cigarettes, Carmen with her jacket in hand ready to leave. He could be sure about one thing: a woman isn't going to wait around forever for a man to go and get his ciggies! Then we swapped numbers. (Mats looked so disappointed when he saw the jacket, he was forgiven!)

Everything fell into place on the third date - that night at the beach bar when Mats fell off his deck chair.
