So, after the elevator finally started moving again, I cancelled the interview and let her believe I was someone I wasn’t―a bike messenger named Jay. I loved the way she looked at the fake me and didn't want it to end. I began dating her as “Jay”―all the while letting her interview the real me over email.

And I certainly wasn't prepared for what came after. All good things must come to an end, right? Except our ending was one I didn't see coming.
