Describe your love story in one word: Exciting Ms. Bowersox Jess Cunningham Susie Bowersox never thought she’d fall for “that guy,” who she affectionately referred to as Joely. They met in college, through their roommates. He quickly became her best friend, a person she could always depend on. And eventually, he developed a thing for her. However, Ms. Bowersox was already in a relationship and had no true interest in him. It took years and years of persistence on Joel’s part until she finally understood the true chemistry between them.

Any embarrassing moments? The one and only thing that stands out is this time in college: We had been studying at his apartment and I was leaving to walk home. I went to walk down the stairs to the front door to leave and could not find the light switch at the top of the stairs; I missed the first step at the top of the stairs and fell all the way to the bottom of the stairs. Sixteen wooden stairs! I’ll never forget that…he’ll never let me forget that! |
