ABSTRACT
Chris and Alayne Edwards owned adjacent plots of land. Alayne liked to work in her garden; Chris performed science experiments in the main room of his house. They got into the habit of paying visits back and forth to admire each others’ handiwork, and had discussions about their hobbies and enthusiasms that lasted well into the night. During these conversations, something clicked, and friendship turned into courtship. They passed a memorable weekend together at a nearby resort owned by friends, spending the daylight hours exploring the luxurious grounds and the nighttime enjoying candlelit dinners in the open air.
