A favorite high school teacher of mine was divorced with a teenage son and seemed well on her way to spinsterhood when she went to a 25 year reunion and ran into her old prom date. Turned out he was a highly successful businessman who was about two years out from a divorce.

Within three years, they were married and have apparently been traveling the world ever since.

So...who knows......

Those high school crushes can linger though, can't they?
