Maintaining relationships with those you work with or make friends with is always a good idea. Everyone, meet Ryle. I only recently got to know him, and I've also worked with him. But even after all that time, we kept up our relationship.
We lost track of time because of his hectic schedule and mine, and we also missed a lot of coffee, lunch, and dinner dates, but everything happens for a reason. I was supposed to see him on Monday, but he wasn't feeling well, so we rescheduled it.
I'm glad we eventually met, and we had a terrific time enjoying a great dinner and sharing tales about what had transpired during the period we hadn't seen each other.
