Intro cause 2cnd revision
While staying with a friend in Portland many years ago, I met a man. This man would eventually become my second husband. How we became acquainted is quite the story. First of all, I never in a million years would have thought I’d ever marry again especially after the horror show my first marriage turned out to be. Second of all, I had no idea who this man was or where he came from except I had just met him in the stairwell of my friends apartment in a city in which I did not live and thirdly, well I guess it's what some call love at first sight.

"Late as usual and in a foul mood, I was hastily running down the three flights of stairs at the Portland apartment. Out of nowhere, there’s this guy moseying his way up the stairwell like he didn’t have a care in the world. Just about the time I was ready to gross him out for being in my way, I looked up at him and standing in front of me was this very handsome stranger. Instead of my usual “move it buddy, can’t you see I’m in a hurry!” what came out was “do you want a roommate?“ Where that question came from was beyond my comprehension, I'd never said anything like this to a stranger before and yet he didn’t seem to be a bit offended. Instead, he just stood there grinning with his arms slightly crossed over his chest like he was waiting for me to say something else. Speechless, all I could muster was a smile back while thinking to myself, where did he come from, I haven‘t seen him around, is he single, will he ask me out?"

I’m talking about a man I had just met... the attraction was so intense, the words kind of fell out of my mouth. I knew absolutely nothing about him, but I would soon be finding out. Once he smiled at me, I melted, we connected and that was the beginning of what some call love at first sight."
"Your heart is beating so rapid you swear it will pop out of your chest. Every waking moment your brain is flooded with thoughts of this person, so much that you can never fall asleep. If you have experienced any of these feelings, you were probably in love or were you? Love is a powerful drug; it can give you the feeling of joy, happiness and security but it can also make you feel lonely, sad and abandoned. When love is good, it’s like a fix, fuel you can’t live without it. When love is bad, that fix, like a bad batch can kill you."
Maybe something like this?

Yes, love at first sight. Your heart is beating so rapid I swear it will pop out of your chest. Every waking moment your brain is flooded with thoughts of this person, so much that you can never fall asleep. When love is good, it’s like a fix, fuel you can’t live without it. When love is bad, that fix, like a bad batch can kill you. Love is really a mystery and this love was particularly mysterious for three reasons: I never thought I'd marry again, I had no idea who this man was, and I didn't believe in love at first sight.
