Pulling a yellow jacket over my shoulders, I put on my best security pose.
Loving all types of sports from basketball to American football, I was very lucky that my job meant that I could have a glimpse at some of the big games in Oregon, US.
Yet, I wasn't the only one.
Catching the eye of my supervisor Sean, 45, doing the same thing, we definitely had a lot in common.
P Both working 70 hours a week, back in 2015, meant we would spend a lot of time together on the same shifts.
And before long, I'd quickly look forward to seeing him.
Talking all things sports, I
couldn't help but feel a certain way I was falling in love.
'Do you want to go for dinner?' Sean asked.
I'd love to,' I replied, buzzing with excitement.
With every dinner date that we had, over the space of six months, our friendship quickly blossomed into a relationship.
And our loving relationship then turned into a marriage.
Tying the knot under the flashing lights of Vegas, on 17 July 2017, it really did feel like I had hit the jackpot! Despite married life being everything I had dreamed of, I hadn't had relationships before Sean, and at 23, I felt like I was too young to settle down...
People can have romantic love for more than one person,' the TV blared, as we watched Shameless.
Laughing at the love affair between three characters on the show, the idea of a 'throuple' didn't seem like a bad idea.
We could do that,' I blurted, laughing.
'It would be a great way to spice up our sex life,' I insisted.
After being married for two years, and working
long, tiring hours, there was no shame in wanting to have a little extra fun in the bedroom.
Even if it was one of the wackiest things I had ever said.
'I like the sound of it,' Sean winked, nodding.
