We met while interning at the Democratic National Committee and clicked as friends right away. We both volunteered to attend the same political event. After Ben complained about being bored and declined Eleanor's invitation to read one of her many books on military strategy, we ended up talking the entire time. A few months later, despite Eleanor making him watch all of the Harry Potter movies, Ben asked Eleanor out just before Valentine's Day. 6 years later we're continuing to challenge and support one another and grow our family by adopting our puppy, Calliope. Eleanor hasn't made Ben rewatch all of the Harry Potter movies again yet but has made him watch The Lord of the Rings Trilogy (extended editions, obviously). In retaliation, Ben has made sure Eleanor has seen nearly every political ad available on YouTube.
