I got her back about a year or two later. She's currently about 1m to my right, and now that 15 years have passed we share a house with four kids and two cats.

Kind of. For a while she did. I moved abroad, and we both concluded that chapter to be over. A couple of years down the road I was visiting the old country (passportrenewal, iirc), and I happened to run into her the day before I was supposed to fly home. But then this volcano erupted, grounding all flights in Northern Europe for a while, and during this extra time we ended up picking up the thread where we left it.

People always talk about looking for the silver linings, and here you are finding love in part because of a major disaster. Good for you!
