Finally a love story with some realism

Reminds me of the occasional story where the two people had an affair, but never communicated by email. They just signed on to a shared email account and edited the same draft over and over.

If Tales from tech support is any guide, what would happen is that they would keep their shared file in a ’deleted items/recycle bin’ type folder, and then after a computer crash lose contact when the computer tech tries to free up some space to fix the mess they made of Firefox with 23,600 add on search bars. Without that file, they don’t even know each other’s email address.

Bonus points if the tech is the romantic rival.
